We are working to determine where global servers should be for launch on August 31, 2021. For Beta Test servers, we're exploring options to create an optimized experience for North America and Europe.

New World will be playable in English (US & UK), Spanish, Brazillian Portuguese, Italian, French, German, and Polish.

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.
