Aeternum's new look: a fresh take on New World
New World Aeternum: A Fresh Take on Amazon's MMORPG
By Streamers Visuals
Introduction
New World, Amazon's MMORPG, is celebrating its third anniversary with the release of New World Aeternum on October 15. The game promises improved gameplay, updated narration, and availability on next-gen consoles.
We had the chance to explore Aeternum during its open beta. The revamped introduction immediately immerses you in the game’s universe.
Enhanced Gameplay and Narration
The game now features numerous cutscenes that illustrate the lore. Full voice acting and subtitles enhance the storytelling experience.
The gameplay basics are introduced in the first few minutes. The action RPG approach and smooth transition to console controllers make it feel natural, even for PC players.
New Features
- Redesigned introduction
- Improved cutscenes and lore
- Smoother UI and menu navigation
- Choice of starting archetype
The choice of starting archetype is a new addition. However, it only affects initial stats and equipment, allowing you to customize your character as you progress.
Structured Storytelling
The journey to the first village shows Amazon's effort to refine the existing content. Dialogues are richer, and the world feels more structured.
In the original version, you were just another player in a changing world. Now, the threats are more visible, and the narrative is clearer.
Leveling and Progression
Leveling in Aeternum feels smoother, with new elements unlocking regularly. This reduces the feeling of stagnation.
Console Experience
The console version offers three presets: 4K, quality, and performance. While 4K provides the best visuals, it can be unstable. The quality preset offers a good balance between refresh rate and resolution.
This first look at New World Aeternum shows that Amazon is on the right track. The console version is satisfying, and the full exploration of this new iteration will provide a definitive verdict.
PC players and DLC owners will receive the Aeternum update for free on October 15.
