New World: Aeternum Drops Gameplay Launch Trailer Ahead of October 15 Release

Amazon’s New World: Aeternum is gearing up for its big debut on October 15th, and to hype things up, the studio just dropped an epic gameplay launch trailer. This new trailer is packed with everything you’d expect from a high-fantasy MMORPG: jaw-dropping landscapes, massive battles, cryptic lore, and enough adventure to make you forget your real-world responsibilities.

But Aeternum isn’t just your average expansion. It’s a reimagining of the original New World experience—essentially a do-over with a fresh coat of paint and a dash of console accessibility. In contrast to the original New World launch in 2021, which was PC-exclusive, Aeternum is expanding its horizons and bringing console players into the fold for the first time, which means more explorers will soon be clashing in this gorgeous, dangerous world.

"With Aeternum, we wanted to give players the ultimate New World experience — one that feels fresh while staying true to what fans loved in the original game," said the dev team at Amazon. The trailer shows off familiar MMO elements like large-scale PvP battles, intricate dungeons, and crafting, but with some exciting new twists. Players will also face new enemies and unique puzzles that add a layer of strategy to the typical grind.

The biggest draw, of course, is how Aeternum seeks to fix many of the missteps from the original launch, delivering smoother combat mechanics, better balance in PvE and PvP, and thankfully, less grinding. If you thought the original New World had potential but missed the mark, Aeternum might be the second chance you've been waiting for.
