New World: Aeternum Ceases New Content Development

Amazon Games announced that development on new content for New World: Aeternum has ceased. The recently-released Season 10 and Nighthaven update will serve as the game’s final content release. The game is intended to be kept running throughout at least 2026, and in-game currency can still be purchased and used. World bosses, bonus weeks, and some seasonal events will also continue, though there will be no more holiday events.

New World: Aeternum released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in October 2024, acting as a mixture of remaster, update, and successor to 2021 MMORPG New World, making the game fully playable solo. The game is set in a world inspired by the 17th-century age of expedition, with players being part of the colonisation effort of Aeternum Island.
