About New World: Aeternum:

In New World: Aeternum, shipwrecked explorers wash ashore and set out to forge their destiny on the supernatural island of Aeternum, a world filled with danger and opportunity. Combat in New World: Aeternum is skill-based and dynamic, incorporating swords, guns, and magic for a complex and satisfying experience, whether in head-to-head fights against the cursed creatures of Aeternum, or large-scale player vs. player battles. Players can fully customize the look, skills, and abilities of their character, as each gathered plant, tanned hide, slain foe, or completed quest shapes their journey and increases their character’s power and skill. The vibrant world, compelling narrative, rich crafting mechanics, classless character development, and real-time action-combat system in New World: Aeternum can provide hundreds of hours of play for solo and multiplayer adventurers alike.

According to Amazon Games, New World has been specifically designed for consoles with complete feature parity for PC players and cross-play functionality. Players can look forward to enhancements such as target locking, aim assist, virtual cursor, controller navigation, accessibility features and more.

New World will be available this October 15 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S for $59.99, the Deluxe Edition for $79.99 will include a Bear mount and armor skin. Console pre-order buyers will also receive the Azoth Stalker wolf mount.
