Amazon delays launch of its New World MMORPG

Amazon Game Studios announced today it will delay the launch of its New World MMORPG game to Spring 2021. This is the second time the developer announces a delay this year. The first delay was when AGS postponed the launch from May to August 25th.

Via an article on the game’s web site, Studio Director Rick Lawrence explains the reasons behind this second delay.

“When we examined the feedback we received over the last several months from our Alpha audience, we saw that players like the game, and they would like to see even more of it,” wrote Lawrence. “In particular, we want to ensure that the most dedicated players have plenty of middle and endgame experiences as they venture through Aeternum. We want our players to feel completely immersed in the game, and know that our studio stands for quality and lasting gameplay you can trust — and that means added time to get things where we want them before we fully release.”

“As a result, we will be changing our launch date — and correspondingly, our final beta test — to spring 2021. We don’t make the decision lightly, and we have urgency about getting the game to you as quickly as possible at the best quality — with some additions that will make the experience even better.”

Another Amazon studio, Relentless Studios, already experienced more than just a delay with Crucible. As of last week, the game went back to closed beta after the developer released the game in May.
