Originally slated for release in May 2020, Amazon Game Studios’ free-to-play MMO New world slipped to August 2020 and then to spring 2021. According to the latest update for developers, the game will now launch on August 31, 2021, with a closed beta starting July 20.
The last delay for the relatively eagerly anticipated game from Amazon somewhat troubled game studio, according to the update, is to give developers more time to implement and polish new end-game features, while ensuring all moving parts are working properly. New world game director Scot Lane gave a similar explanation for the delay in a video posted on YouTube.
I have not played in any of them New world‘s alpha events, but as an MMO fan, I’m looking forward to delving into this weird fictional take on American colonization. I hope this latest postponement is really final.
