Aeternum Has Come a Long Way Since Its Initial Release
Much has changed since New World’s initial launch when it struggled to strike a balance between its PvP and PvE player base and an endgame experience that did not live up to the expectations of its fans. With more than three years’ worth of post-launch updates for New World Aeternum based on player feedback and all the new content arriving in the October 15 update, this is undoubtedly the ideal moment for new players to start playing the game or for seasoned players to return to take advantage of some of the most recent additions to the massively multiplayer online role-playing game.
When the game launches, this updated version will become the new standard version that players can play on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. On PC, this update is free for users who already have the base game and the Rise of the Angry Earth DLC.
