Amazon has announced that the closed beta for its upcoming MMORPG New World: Aeternum will be held from July 11 to July 17. Amazon's MMORPG New World launched on PC in 2021, serving as the publisher's first-ever release. The game has seen a multitude of changes and updates since its initial launch, and now, Amazon is prepared to bring the game to consoles with New World: Aeternum.
The launch of Aeternum will mark the first time console players will get to experience New World. Previously a PC-exclusive title, New World has been praised for its gorgeous landscapes and exploration. New World: Aeternum will launch with all the features of the original New World, as well as extended content, and will include the paid expansion Rise of the Angry Earth. Developer Amazon Games Orange County is tweaking the game to make Aeternum the best version of New World available upon release. The PC game has controller support, but for Aeternum, the controller gameplay has been optimized to provide players with the best experience possible. Aeternum is also adding to the game's story, including new characters, cinematics, and enhanced dialogue. In terms of gameplay, Aeternum also adds a large-scale PvP zone, a challenging 10-player raid, and new end-game solo trials.

New Players, New Story, New World
New World' s story campaign ended with season 5, paving the way for Aeternum and a new beginning that more people than ever will be able to experience. Amazon Games has also confirmed crossplay between the PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game, a feature that will also be available during the beta, enabling players on both systems to experience the new story together. Players who participate in the beta won't be getting a jump start on the game, as progress made in the beta will not be carried over to the full release. A beta for the PC version of New World: Aeternum will be held sometime before the game's full launch later this year.
The long rumored New World: Aeternum launches on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on October 15. On PC, the game will be free to players who own both New World and the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion.
