What started as one of the most ambitious bets in the history of Amazon Games is slowly fading away. Four years after its launch, the studio has officially confirmed that New World will no longer receive new content updates. The Season 10: Nighttime Refuge and the expansion Rise of the Angry Earth will mark the end of its journey, putting an end to a journey that managed to captivate (and also wear out) thousands of players on PC and consoles.

The statement, published by the team itself, is as honest as it is heartbreaking: “it is no longer sustainable to maintain the current development pace“. With those words, Amazon puts an end to a project that was born with the promise of revolutionizing modern MMOs, but never quite found its balance between ambition and community.

New World: Aeternum will survive… but its story is slowly fading away

Although there will be no more expansions or seasonal events, Amazon will keep the servers active until 2026. The team ensures that they will continue to make technical adjustments and maintain world bosses, bonus weeks, and basic activities, but without new content that expands its universe.

In a gesture of farewell, the company has made the expansion Rise of the Angry Earth free for all PC players, and has confirmed that New World: Aeternum will remain available on PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium until further notice. A final gift for a community that has faithfully accompanied each step of this epic.

At Generación Xbox, we continue to closely follow the evolution of this goodbye, because beyond its mistakes, New World represented something important: the attempt to create a living, immense, and shared world. A place where players built alliances, conquered territories, and left marks that, now, will remain etched in the history of modern MMOs.

Aeternum is not dying today… but it begins its decline. And for those who traveled it from the beginning, it will be impossible to forget that first dawn among its forests.
