New World Aeternum brings the MMORPG from Amazon Games in an adapted form to Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. MeinMMO gives you 5 reasons why it might be worthwhile for you to pay a visit to the fantasy world of Aeternum.
While the launch of Throne and Liberty promises a fresh gaming experience, some MMORPG fans may dismiss the launch of New World Aeternum with the thought: “I know, that game had its chance.”
However, there are good reasons why it might be worthwhile for you to press the login button and enter the fantasy world of Aeternum for the first time or after a long break. MeinMMO explains five of these reasons in more detail below.

Reason 1: Be part of a new community
It’s always something very special when new servers for an MMORPG go live and a fresh community forms on these virtual worlds. How unique this gaming experience is is highlighted not only by all the launches in MMO history, but also by the numerous nostalgic classic servers of various online role-playing games for many years.
With New World Aeternum there will also be completely new servers on which the economic problems and the hardened power imbalances of older realms play no role. You can make a name for yourself alongside other newcomers, lead your own company to fame and honor and earn a fortune on the market.

Reason 2: Aeternum is coming to consoles
While there are now a number of good MMORPGs that you can experience on PlayStation and Xbox, New World Aeternum could quickly establish itself as one of the best online role-playing games for the consoles.
The reason for this lies in the action-packed combat system, which was made for the controller and has already felt wonderful in the tests so far. New World Aeternum benefits from the comparatively small number of skills and the smooth transition to the second weapon. In addition, aiming at targets has now become much easier.
Please note that you need a PlayStation Plus subscription and a Game Pass Core subscription to play New World Aeternum on PlayStation or Xbox.
Reason 3: The fascinating setting
New World combines the age of the conquistadors on the continent of Aeternum as well as a wonderfully dark fantasy setting around the corrupt, secret myths and ancient ruins. This mix stands out positively from the fantastic monotony of many other MMORPGs.
The game world is also one of the most impressive in the genre thanks to the fantastic audiovisual design. Above all, the soundscape is second to none. It’s just fun to move around Aeternum and explore every corner of the island.
Reason 4: Theme park full of attractions
Whether it’s a story campaign, individual trials, arenas, dungeons, raids, PvP zones in the open world, events, quests, siege battles or crafting: New World now offers a wealth of content that is aimed at different types of players.
You can experience the game as a lone wolf, with friends or as part of an ambitious guild. This wealth of options did not exist when New World was first launched.
Reason 5: The best version of New World yet
New World launched in September 2021 with a lot of potential and even more problems. It was easy to see in the first MMORPG from Amazon Games that those responsible had changed the direction of the game in the middle of development.
More than three years later, a much more extensive but also more sophisticated adventure awaits you in New World Aeternum, which is certainly still not perfect, but to date represents the best, most versatile and polished version of the MMORPG.
