New World was originally supposed to be released on August 31, 2021. However, Amazon has postponed the release once again. They want to use the extra time to polish the MMO further.
When does New World release now? The new release date for New World is now Tuesday, September 28. This moves the launch of the MMO by exactly 4 weeks. The developers announced this via Twitter and other social media.
