Amazon’s New World: Aeternum is being delisted today, January 15, ahead of the servers shutting down in January 2027.
“A few months ago we shared with you, our valued community, that no additional content would come to New World: Aeternum after the Nighthaven seasonal update. We also said more details on what’s happening next, alongside other essential information, would soon follow. Today, we’re here to share updates and provide transparency on where the game goes from here,” a post says on the game’s official site.
“New World: Aeternum will officially be taken offline from all platforms on January 31, 2027. On January 15, 2026, the title will be delisted and no longer available for purchase. Players will still be able to play New World: Aeternum on their purchased platform, and we are extending the Nighthaven season until the servers are taken offline on January 31, 2027.”
The biggest issue New World: Aeternum faced was that Amazon Game Studios pitted its own user base against itself. Amazon published Lost Ark, Throne and Liberty, and the in-house-developed New World. The publisher also cancelled two Lord of the Rings MMOs and Blue Protocol. The MMO genre is dwindling, and many stick with the big hits like World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy 14.
“We want to thank the players for your dedication and passion. We are grateful for the time spent crafting the world of Aeternum with you. Together we built something special. While we are saddened to say goodbye, we’re honored that we were able to share so much with the community.
It has been our pleasure to work on New World: Aeternum and evolve this unforgettable adventure with you all. We look forward to one more year together, and giving this fantastic adventure a sendoff worthy of a legendary hero. From the bottom of all our hearts, thank you for sharing this world with us.”
Those who wish to continue playing New World: Aeternum have until early 2027 to do so, but only until July 20, 2026, to buy any in-game currency they wish to own (it’s mentioned there will be no refunds, though).
