Released only in September 2021, New World: Aeternum is closing its doors already. Amazon’s RPG will bow down on January 31, 2027, on both consoles and PC.
The news was announced in an article published on the game’s official blog. As of today (January 15, 2026), New World is no longer available for purchase on any platform. Those who own a copy of the game can continue to play until January 31, 2027. The virtual currency will be removed on July 20, 2026. Purchases will not be refunded.

It’s always sad to see a game come to an end, especially one that had so much potential. The journey of New World: Aeternum will surely be remembered by its players. Here’s to the memories made in Aeternum!
I completely agree; it’s tough to see a game with such promise close down. It’s interesting to think about how player feedback shaped its development, and it’s a reminder of the challenges in the gaming industry. Hopefully, future projects will learn from its experiences.
