New World is an MMORPG where players colonize a fictional land modeled after the mid-seventeenth-century Americas. New World was released on September 28, 2021, and was developed by Amazon Games Orange County. The game received positive recognition after its initial launch.
New World was nominated for multiple awards in the year of its release. It was nominated for Best Multiplayer Game at The Game Awards 2021 and Best original soundtrack at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards. New World has maintained a healthy player base and even managed to be one of the top-played games on Steam.
New World Premise

Players are thrust into the height of the Age of Exploration. In New World, players begin their adventure on the fictional island of Aeternum somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. To survive on this island, players will need to collect resources so that they can take on Aeternum’s many challenges. Monsterous creatures and other players will be a constant threat as players forge their new lives in Aeternum.
New World Gameplay
Aeternum is an open world designed to be explored and conquered by players. This multiplayer game encourages players to form groups or join one of the three factions in the game: Marauders, Syndicate, or Covenant. The resources in the game allow players to craft weapons and equipment to help them survive.
As players progress in the game, their avatar will level up and unlock new skills, making survival easier. New World is basically a second life where players can purchase a property like housing and furniture. There is even a player-controlled economy where resources can be traded for gold coins.
New World Series

Unfortunately, for players looking for more of New World, the game is standalone. There are no prequels or sequels for the series. Luckily, Amazon Games has created similar games that allow players to explore new and strange worlds. Lost Ark is another MMO that is similar to New World. Here is a list of Amazon Games that might interest New World players.
