Okay, so this is pretty rough news for us New World players. Amazon announced a bunch of layoffs – over 14,000 people! – and unfortunately, Amazon Games took a big hit. They’re cutting staff at their Irvine and San Diego studios, and because of that, they’ve decided to stop making new content for New World: Aeternum. It’s not shutting down right away, thankfully. They’ve promised to keep the servers running at least through 2026, and they say they’ll give us six months’ notice before they pull the plug completely. Still, it’s a bummer to hear that the game’s future content is basically over.
