Amazon is winding down its still-popular New World MMO amid mass layoffs
"Amazon Games is winding down support for New World: Aeternum amid layoffs in the division and even deeper job cuts across its parent company. The game debuted on PC in 2021 and it landed on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S just over a year ago. "After four years of steady content updates and a major new console release, we've reached a point where it is no longer sustainable to continue supporting the game with new content updates,""
"The company said it will keep the game's servers up and running through 2026, "allowing our community time to continue their adventures in Aeternum." In terms of how long fans will be able to keep playing the game, Amazon said it will provide more details about "what to expect in the coming months." It pledged to "provide a minimum of six months' notice before making any changes that impact your ability to play New World: Aeternum.""
Amazon Games is winding down active content support for New World: Aeternum amid division layoffs and wider parent-company job cuts. Season 10 and the Nighthaven update will serve as the final content releases for PC and consoles. Players can still purchase the game and PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers retain access until further notice, and the Nighthaven expansion is being made free. The company will keep servers running through 2026 and has pledged to provide at least six months' notice before changes that affect playability. Amazon will dial back work on big-budget MMOs, and the fate of a planned Lord of the Rings MMO is unclear.
