The New World video game is a long-awaited Massively Multiplayer Online game, currently in development by Amazon Games. The game promises to deliver a thrilling open-world experience, set on an island called Aeternum. In this article we will discuss the main characteristics of the New World MMO.

Key Features

Movie-Like Plot: Your character ends up shipwrecked on the mysterious island of Aeternum, which has been the source of fantastical legends for thousands of years. You will soon find out that Aeternum is full of magic. But you need to be careful, as the fundamentals of life and death don't apply in your new home.
Discover the Magic: Throughout your journey you will cross your path with countless creatures, plants, stones and other resources that have been injected with the magic of Aeternum.
Choose Your Destiny: Amazon New World is ruled by three different fractions: The Marauders, The Syndicate and The Covenant. Each of them has its own motives and ideas for the future of Aeternum. Within a fraction, players can create their own sub-groups called companies.
Fight for Survival: Wandering through Aeternum will make you hungry, so you will need to find food and keep yourself hydrated. By collecting the right materials, you can craft thousands of weapons, armors, and other items. You can keep these yourself, give them to your friends, or sell them to other players on the market in your settlement. Ultimately, within the settlement of your fraction, you will even have the option of purchasing your own house.
