Amazon Game Studios right now introduced plans to launch New World, their supernatural 17th century coloniser MMO, in May 2020. Off we’ll head to a mysterious fictional Atlantic island to battle creatures, cultists, and typically different gamers. This information comes six months after Amazon’s inside game growth group reportedly laid off dozens off staff and binned several projects, and I’m a little bit shocked that New World has survived. Here, a brand new trailer from The Game Awards exhibits a little bit extra of Aeternum, the Eternal Isle.
Amazon are nonetheless speaking about New World with a good diploma of vagueness. I consider it’s a multiplayer sandbox sorta factor with crafting, constructing, player-formed organisations, character development however no courses, PvE monsters to battle, and occasional manmurdering. And huge fights. Today’s press launch blasted this buzzy blurb:
“Massive battles set New World apart, with fortress sieges against other players and supernatural invasions, featuring up to 100 players on the battlefield at once. Combat in New World is visceral and skill-based, giving players direct control over their movements and attacks. Players can band together to form powerful Companies operating out of fortified strongholds, or play alone and acquire and customise their own homes as they contribute to the growth of the larger community around them. New World provides near-limitless play, with classless character progression, social systems, and rich crafting mechanics.”
May is just not far off now, and tonight they launched teaser clips of upcoming video developer diaries, so we should always see extra of the particular game quickly.
