The most important bit of info here is that the game isn't just for PC gamers anymore. You could be team PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, or team trusty PC. It doesn't matter anymore. Everyone's invited to the party. And guess what? Cross-play is on the menu, so you can team up with your buddies regardless of their platform preference. Just a big, happy, monster-slaying family reunion.

What's In Store For The Beta Adventurers?

Here's all the cool things you can do if you sign up for the beta testing:

  • You'll get to experience the game's opening and initial questline (no spoilers, but it's pretty epic).
  • There's also mounts for faster travel across the vast landscape.
  • Arenas for PvP combat.
  • Select expeditions to challenge players' skills.

There is a teeny-tiny catch, though. The progress is capped at level 30 for the beta. But hey, that still leaves plenty of room for shenanigans.

Aeternum 2.0: The Glow-Up is Real

Close

If you played the original New World, prepare to have your mind blown. This isn't just a copy-paste job with some console controls slapped on. We're talking a full-on reimagining here. They've taken the best bits from the original game and its first big expansion, then cranked everything up to eleven. Key features include:

  1. Streamlined combat system for smoother gameplay across all platforms.
  2. Enhanced storytelling and quest design.
  3. Improved crafting and progression systems.
  4. New zones and expeditions not seen in the original release.

Now, let's talk logistics. Amazon Games knows we're all itching to play, so they're letting us preload the beta client starting September 11 at 9 AM PT. That's a whole two days to get everything set up so you can hit the ground running when the servers go live. They've also streamlined the registration quite a bit. Player can simply download the client from their platform's digital storefront when it becomes available on October 15.
