New World, the recent open-world MMORPG from Amazon Games, is available now on PC via Steam. The developers have thanked the players for their support, touched at the project’s unprecedented popularity.
Over a million players washed up on the shores of Aeternum on the day of the launch, with the peak online number being over 750k players! Since the launch on Tuesday, the team had more than doubled the number of servers and is working on increasing the capacity of all available servers to support a higher player population cap.

ABOUT NEW WORLD:
For thousands of years, Aeternum has been the source of fantastical legends—and now you’ve found it. Shipwrecked and without supplies or allies, you’ll need to make your way in a dangerous world where supernatural power has changed all the rules. In such a land, your destiny is whatever you make of it. Endless opportunities to fight, forage, and forge await you among the island’s wilderness and ruins. Channel supernatural forces or wield deadly weapons in a classless, real-time combat system, and fight alone, with a small team, or in massed armies for PvE and PvP battles—the choices are all yours.
At the core of the New World’s social features are the three factions, organizations of like-minded players and non-player characters with their own motives and schemes for the island’s future. It is as a member of one of these factions that you’ll wage war and claim, defend, and develop your territory.
