Hot on the heels of Amazon confirming a massive 14,000 jobs being cut, Amazon Games has announced the end of support for their MMORPG New World.

The new change in Amazon’s corporate focus has resulted in an unknown number of firings at Amazon Games, and now the end of post-launch support for their MMO New World: Aeternum.

The fantasy MMORPG is ending post-launch support after its recently launched Season 10 and big Nighthaven update. New content has ended, though the game will remain online and playable through the end of 2026.

“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 content updates,” the new update reads.

“The recently launched Season 10 and Nighthaven update will serve as the final content release for New World on PC and consoles. It is only after much consideration that we’ve reached this decision. To thank you, the New World community, for your support over the years, we have made the Nighthaven release available to you for free. To ensure all New World players can experience this content, we also made Rise of the Angry Earth free for all PC players.”

New World has been available on Windows PC via Steam since 2021 and got console versions as New World: Aeternum in October 2024. Get our review here!
