New World Aeternum brings the MMORPG from Amazon Games in an adapted form to Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. MeinMMO gives you 5 reasons why it might be worth visiting the fantasy world of Aeternum.
While the launch of Throne and Liberty promises a fresh gaming experience, some MMORPG fans might dismiss the launch of New World Aeternum with the thought, “I already know it, the game had its chance.”
However, there are good reasons why it might be worth for you to hit the login button for the first time or after a long break and enter the fantasy world of Aeternum. MeinMMO explains five of these reasons in more detail below.
The launch trailer for New World Aeternum:
Reason 1: Be part of a new community
It is always something special when new servers go live for an MMORPG and a fresh community forms in these virtual worlds. How unique this gaming experience is is underscored not only by all the launches in MMO history but also by the numerous nostalgic classic servers of various online role-playing games for many years.
With New World Aeternum, there will also be completely new servers where economic problems and the hardened power imbalances of older realms do not matter. You can make a name for yourself alongside other newcomers, lead your own company to glory and honor, and earn a fortune in the market.
Reason 2: Aeternum is coming to consoles
While there are now a number of good MMORPGs available on PlayStation and Xbox, New World Aeternum could quickly establish itself as one of the best online role-playing games for consoles.
The reason for this is the action-packed combat system, which feels tailor-made for the controller and has already felt wonderful in previous tests. New World Aeternum benefits from the comparatively small number of skills and the seamless switch to the second weapon. Additionally, targeting is now significantly easier.
Note that you will need a PlayStation Plus subscription as well as a Game Pass Core subscription to play New World Aeternum on PlayStation or Xbox.
Reason 3: The fascinating setting
New World combines the age of conquistadors with a wonderfully dark fantasy setting centered around the Corrupted, secret myths, and ancient ruins on the continent of Aeternum. This mix positively stands out from the fantastic monotony of many other MMORPGs.
Furthermore, thanks to its fantastic audiovisual design, the game world is one of the most impressive in the genre. Particularly, the soundscape is unmatched. It is simply fun to move through Aeternum and explore every corner of the island.
Reason 4: Theme park full of attractions
Whether it’s story campaign, individual trials, arenas, dungeons, raids, PvP zones in the open world, events, quests, siege battles, or crafting: New World now offers a wealth of content aimed at different player types.
You can experience the game as a lone wolf, with friends, or as part of an ambitious guild. This abundance of options was not available during the first launch of New World.
Reason 5: The best version of New World so far
New World launched in September 2021 with a lot of potential and even more problems. It was apparent that the first MMORPG from Amazon Games had its direction changed in the midst of development.
More than three years later, New World Aeternum offers you a significantly richer but also more polished adventure, which is certainly still not perfect but represents the best, most versatile, and polished version of the MMORPG to date.
