Characters won't be stuck in a specific class either, so every player will have access to the same types of skills and equipment as they progress through the game.

Learning how to wield weapons and position yourself on the battlefield will be just as important as improving your character's statistics. Unlike traditional online role-playing games like 'World of Warcraft,' Amazon's 'New World' will have more action-oriented combat. Earlier this year, Amazon offered a short preview of 'New World' to members of the press. Up to 100 players can fight side by side to defend their settlements against the island's supernatural forces, or other invading players. Players can work together to discover the Aeternum's secrets and expand their colonial settlements on the island. Dark magic flows beneath the soil of Aeterneum, haunting the wilderness and possessing the island's inhabitants over time.

'New World' is an open-world adventure game set in the 17th century's 'Age of Exploration.' Players will explore an uncharted fictional island called Aeternum that's home to savage wildlife, mythical creatures, and fellow settlers. Amazon showed off 'New World,' its new massively multiplayer online video game, with a cinematic trailer during the 2019 Game Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday night.Īmazon's in-house development studio, Amazon Games, has been working on 'New World' for more than three years, and it will be the young studio's first major release when it launches in May 2020.
