We’ve already heardlots of info about New World’s lore- which I’m certainly not complaining about, but it’s nice to see more of what we’ll actually be playing, you know? If you missed any of those lore bits, the devs probably explain it best in the press release:
“New Worldis an Open World MMO that pits players against the haunted wilderness of Aeternum, a mysterious island during the twilight of the Age of Exploration,” it says. “Success in New World ultimately depends on a player’s ability to conquer not only rival players, but Aeternum itself as it unleashes undead legions, hell-bent on purging them from its shores.”
Then just a month after that it’ll be released properly for everyone, on August 25th. You can buy iton Steamor fromAmazondirectly, and it’ll cost you £35/$40/€40.
Here’s hoping this MMO is a little more polished than Amazon’s third-person shooter, Crucible,which removed two of its three game modes last weekto fix a bunch of issues from its messy launch.
