Amazon's New World MMORPG Expected to Launch on Consoles

Amazon's MMORPG, New World, is potentially expanding to consoles following a PlayStation Store listing that was quickly removed. Originally launched on PC in 2021, New World has seen fluctuating player numbers but remains one of the most played games on Steam. The game is set in an alternate 1600s America and has garnered attention for its immersive gameplay and world-building.

Speculation about a console release intensified after an image of New World Aeternum appeared on the PlayStation Store, suggesting a possible rebranding or a new version for consoles. While there has been no official confirmation from Amazon Games, the company is expected to make an announcement at the Summer Game Fest on June 7. The potential console release could significantly boost the game's player base and performance.

Further hints about the console version emerged from a recent Amazon Games job advert referencing New World: Aeternum and the game's controller optimization efforts in its latest updates. Fans and industry watchers are eagerly awaiting the official reveal, which could clarify whether the game will also be available on Xbox Series X and S, in addition to PlayStation.
