"It’s been two weeks since we launched?New World: Aeternum?on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. We’re so pleased and encouraged by the enthusiastic response from players and critics alike, and it’s been exciting to welcome even more adventurers to the supernatural island of Aeternum. The team put a massive effort into delivering a refined and polished experience while listening to the players to help us prioritize new features, including our first-ever raid, the Hive of the Gorgons, and Cutlass Keys, a free-for-all player-vs-player (PvP) zone. It is gratifying to see the positive response from the community. While we’re still hard at work to ensure the best possible experience for those venturing into Aeternum, I wanted to pause and take a moment to extend a big?THANK YOU?to the players for making this such a fantastic launch! It’s been a genuine delight to see the rush of adventurers, including returning PC veterans (welcome back!) and brand-new PC players, along with PlayStation and Xbox players joining in on the fun for the first time. Of course, I also have to once again thank the development team for delivering such an ambitious, unified experience to players. I hope you’re as proud of your accomplishments as I am, and that you are relishing the excitement of this launch."

New World: Aeternum is here! We’re thrilled for players to discover supernatural secrets together across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Check out our launch trailer, plus some words of welcome from Game Director, Scot L.. "I’m so happy to welcome you all to the shores of Aeternum, some of you for the first time and others returning for another adventure. Over the past 3 years of live development, we’ve not only added an incredible amount of content but also learned a ton. The feedback from players has helped us make so many decisions and streamline gameplay to where we are now. We’ve worked so hard to make New World: Aeternum sing with a controller and play well on console and spent the better part of the last year optimizing, polishing and readying Aeternum for this next phase. On top of that, we’ve added more endgame content including our first raid, the Hive of Gorgons, which is the culmination of our PvE experience, and a Free-For-All PvP zone the Cursed Mists, where adventurers can test their skills and grab awesome loot! We’ve also rebuilt the way we tell the story to really immerse players in the world. So with that, we are extremely excited to embark on this journey together. Launch is just the starting point and we have big plans for where we want to go next. We will continue to listen and use your feedback to inform our future updates. A big thanks to our returning players and again, welcome to our new players across all platforms – we are so happy and excited to have you experience Aeternum! I will part with a bit of advice, take your time and savor the journey – no need to rush through it. I can’t wait to see you in Aeternum!"
