The Amazon Games MMORPG to begin offering free and premium Season Passes.

Amazon Games say that they are changing things up a bit for their MMORPG, New World. This change includes a move to a seasonal model, complete with free and premium Season Pass offerings.

Amazon says that this change will begin on March 28. This will supposedly allow the studio to get more frequent updates out to players that include more regular content offerings. Some of the new content offerings...

The MMO opened up some new servers for players to experience the reworked early game.

Amazon Games just opened up a number of fresh, brand-spanking new servers for their MMO, New World. The new servers will allow players to get a fresh start on these "Fresh Start" servers that have no established players or economy.

These new servers were added alongside the release of a newly reworked early game experience for players. This reworked experience includes far less...

Contrary to popular belief, not everything was delayed in 2021.

Once again, Valve employees have poured through the data over the course of hundreds of hours to produce a list of the biggest and best-selling games available through Steam in 2021. It's either that, or they just had a program compile all of the data for them, but the alternative sounds more thrilling.

Valve has broken down Steam's "Best of 2021" into several categories. They have listings for the...

Take a step into the void.

Amazon Games just released the update 1.1 for their MMORPG New World a short time ago today. This update offers a bit more than just the typical bug fixes and improvements to the game. Today's update is actually the first new content update that Amazon Games has released since the game's launch.

New in the 1.1 update is the addition of the Void Gauntlet. This is the first weapon in the game that will scale with both Intelligence and Focus. Amazon...

This is the second time now this has happened.

New World from Amazon Games has had its fair share of ups and downs since its release. One of the downs came in the form of a gold duplication glitch that was fairly quickly fixed by Amazon Games. Today, a new exploit was found that resulted in some exploiters pulling in some big monetary gains.

This new exploit allowed players to duplicate endgame trophies. These trophies could then be sold off at the in-game auction house...

A link is just a link, except when it's in New World chat.
Amazon Games has fixed an exploit in their global chat system that would allow some users to send messages that could potentially crash game clients for other users. A new exploit found that users were able to send malicious messages that contained links. Once clicked the links would either show disruptive images or hidden code that could crash the game. Yesterday, some users began to notice the exploit in action. It started out fa...

It's a whole New World.

Valve just released their list of the top new games released on Steam for September 2021. In their brief blog entry announcing the new releases, they touch upon some of the hottest titles that players picked up this past month.

These titles cover a wide range of genres, as usual, and that means there's a little something for everyone. For instance, one of the biggest releases in September 2021 was from Amazon Games and the release of their new MMORPG,...

Bad news from Amazon Games.

Amazon Games has delayed their promised server transfer feature for New World. This is apparently due to some "edge cases where the transfer experience does not meet our standards for its release."

Not only is this feature delayed in general, but it seems as though players will not be able to transfer characters to other regions outside of the one their character is playing on. This is in spite of Amazon Games previously saying that...

Patch 1.0.1 is here and offers plenty of fixes for players.

Amazon Games' new MMO New World is still putting up some really good player numbers a week following its release. Today, the first "major" patch for the game was released. It does not include any new functionality, nor does it include character transfers. Instead, it features a ton of bug fixes for some issues that players have encountered.

The much-awaited character transfer option is still coming....

An anti-AFK system is being implemented to reduce the strain on servers.

On Sunday, New World from Amazon Games surpassed 913,000 concurrent players. The new MMO has been going quite strong ever since its release on Tuesday of last week. However, the servers are still suffering a bit.

Since release, Amazon has taken some great strides to try to reduce the player queue times around the world. They have added a lot of additional servers. They have also increased the server...

This isn't necessarily an issue with the game, but a manufacturing issue or coincidence.

In late July 2021, a beta period for Amazon Games' new MMORPG, New World, caused some graphics cards to die. The lack of a framerate cap was initially blamed for killing a small number of RTX 3090 cards, mainly those from EVGA, but that really didn't make much sense. After all, tons of games can run with uncapped framerates and they don't cause PC hardware to die.

Amazon Games did...

More servers is more better.

Yesterday, Amazon Games launched their new MMORPG New World to some really eager players. I guess the desire for a new MMO was extra strong because damn did this game ever take off. As we reported yesterday, there were several hundred thousand people stuck in server queues for multiple hours. These were in addition to the some 427,000+ players that were already actually playing at the time.

Part of the problem for New World is the fact that...

Welcome to the lands of Aeternum.

After a number of delays and tests, New World from Amazon Games has officially shipped today. This new MMORPG will place you in the "haunted wilderness of Aeternum, a mysterious supernatural island in the twilight of the Age of Exploration."

It seems as though the new MMO has already earned itself quite the following. According to a live status page for New World, there are currently Over 427,000 players currently in-game. It...

The game will now be released in September.

Stop me if you've heard this one before: The Amazon Games developed MMORPG, New World, has been delayed. Shocking, right? This is at least the fourth delay for the game since it was announced in December of 2019. It was first delayed in April 2020 until August 2020. Then it was delayed in July 2020 until some time in 2021. Then in February of this year it was pushed to August. And now, here we are in August of 2021 and the game is now delayed...

Player counts rose above 200,000 this weekend on Steam.

Over the weekend, the closed beta for Amazon Games' New World MMO surpassed 200,000 concurrent players on Steam. The closed beta began back on July 20 and had already proven to be quite the hit amongst fans. The average player counts each day hovered around 180,000 leading up to this past weekend. The game peaked on July 25 with 200,856 players on at once.

This is all in spite of reports that the game may have led...
