Amazon has officially revealed that its ill-fated MMO New World, currently carrying the additional title of Aeternum, will be shutting down in January next year, so it's time to start writing those bucket lists.
In a post on the game's official website, Amazon says New World will be taken down from all platforms on January 31st next year. Remember, that's 2027, not 2026, so don't worry; the game isn't going anywhere just yet.
If you haven't played New World yet and you were thinking of giving it a try, you've probably noticed it's not available anywhere anymore. That's because Amazon delisted the game yesterday. If you already own it, you can still play it, but otherwise, you're out of luck.
As well as keeping the servers open, Amazon says it'll also be extending New World's Nighthaven season all the way up until shutdown, which means you'll be able to experience the seasonal events and content for the next year or so.
The in-game Marks of Fortune currency will be removed from sale this July, and you won't be able to get any refunds on purchases made before then, so think carefully before you grab any currency bundles....
