'New World' Announced

by Rainier on Sept. 30, 2016 @ 12:25 a.m. PDT

New World is a massively multiplayer online game set in an alternate reality version of the 17th century’s Age of Exploration.

Players decide how to play, what to do, and whom to work with--or against--in an evolving world that transforms with seasons, weather, and time of day.

Players can band together to reclaim monster-haunted wilds and build thriving civilizations, or strike out alone, surviving in the face of supernatural terrors and murderous player bandits.

With emergent gameplay and rich social features, including deep Twitch integration with broadcaster-led events, achievements, and rewards, the only limit in the New World is a player’s ambition.

“Watching and interacting with broadcasters and the communities on Twitch has inspired us to think about games in a new way—to ask ourselves ‘what would it look like to create a game with broadcasting and viewing in mind from the very start?’ It’s clear the experiences that fans have outside the game, from viewing and broadcasting to live events and esports, are huge sources of entertainment,” said Mike Frazzini, Vice President of Amazon Games. “We’ve hired some of the best creators in the world to build games that we hope will be as fun to watch as they are to play. We’re excited to reveal a first look at our titles, and invite fans and broadcasters to share what they think and join us in shaping the development of our games.”
