Four years after its launch, New World Aeternum is closing its doors for good. Just after the release of season 10 and the recently released Nighthaven update, the team at New World has called these updates the game’s last. So the big question now is, will this mean the game is dead?
Players have a lot of questions about the game, especially those who have put in a lot of hours playing the game. Many studios, once they have pushed the final updates for the game, begin the preparation of sunsetting the game.
If you are someone planning to buy the game today and have a lot of questions about it, you’ve come to the right place.
Why is New World shutting down?
Amazon Games has decided to shut down the New World game, citing the layoffs that recently took place. With a reduced team, the developers have found it challenging to release more content and updates for the game. While the game has been updated for four years, Amazon Games has stated that with the release of the new generation consoles, the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X, it has become difficult for the team to continue supporting the game.
Here’s when New World Aeternum will stop working
While the updates for the game have been stopped, Amazon Games has stated that the servers for the game will continue to be online until 2026. So when exactly will the game stop functioning in 20206? Well, Amazon Games has stated that 6 months before the game goes offline, players will be informed about the planned shutdown for New World: Aeternum.
As of now, players can go ahead and purchase New World: Aeternum if they wish to, as the game is still playable. Players can choose to purchase the in-game currency and continue to receive any updates that involve bug fixes and server merges as and when needed. However, what players will not be able to do is ask for refunds for purchases made towards Marks of Fortune (in-game currency).
As far as it goes towards purchasing the game, users can continue to purchase the game for their respective platforms, i.e., Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation.
New World Aeternum: Will you get refunds?
While users cannot claim refunds for purchases made towards Marks of Fortune, users who have recently purchased the game can try to request a refund for the game if they have recently purchased it. So, if you are no longer interested in playing the game, check with your platform to see if you are eligible for a refund.
New World: Aeternum: What’s For Players Now?
Players who have purchased New World Aeternum are eligible to get free access to the Nighthaven, and to make it up for all players of the game, Amazon Games is also making Rise of the Angry Earth the new expansion for New World: Aeternum, free for all players only on PC.
So, until Amazon Games pushes out a notice informing that the game will be closing down on a said date, players can continue to enjoy playing New World: Aeternum with their friends and go on adventures to fight against the enemies. If there are any updates or changes to the game, we will keep you updated.
