New World: Aeternum to Shut Down in January 2027

Amazon Games announced that online action RPG New World: Aeternum will end service on all platforms on January 31, 2027. The news follows the November announcement that content development on the game had ceased. The game has already been delisted from platform stores and is no longer available to purchase, while current players will no longer be able to purchase in-game currency from July 20, 2026.

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.
