New World is relaunching for consoles as New World: Aeternum, bringing the MMO RPG to Xbox and PlayStation. This is great news for anyone who has wanted to play since its release on PC in 2021. But is New World a little late to the party?
As an MMO RPG, New World: Aeternum is competing with huge titles such as Final Fantasy 14 and Lost Ark. MMO players have a lot to choose from so it may be difficult to entice them to a new title. So does New World: Aeternum have what it takes to engage players for the long haul? A game such as this can be a real commitment. They ask players to spend time customizing, exploring, crafting, and battling foes. Levelling up to unlock all potential gameplay takes hours upon hours of dedicated gameplay. MMO RPGs can be all-consuming and much of the time players only take on one at a time.
