New World Aeternum is shutting down development of future content updates, but will remain online through 2026, Amazon Games has announced.

"After four years of steady content updates and a major new console release, we've reached a point where it is no longer sustainable to continue supporting the game with new conte

New World may be nearing its end. A new report confirms that the game is no longer sustainable, and Amazon Game Studios has set 2026 as the tentative cutoff for its servers.

Amazon Games shares an update on the future of once incredibly popular MMORPG New World: Aeternum, and fans aren't happy about it.

Earlier this week, Amazon's games division confirmed that it is ending support for MMORPG New World on both PC and consoles.

Amazon disclosed a number of layoffs in its gaming division earlier this week, and now those cuts are apparently affecting the team behind New World: Aeternum. Following the recently released Season 10: Nighthaven update, there will be no more new content released for New World: Aeternum.

Amazon's historical fantasy MMO New World just celebrated its fourth anniversary, but a recent post on the game's official website reveals that the game's newest update will also be its last.

With major development ending and servers set to run only through 2026, Amazon’s decision to keep it a paid game just feels wrong.
