When Amazon announced it was making an MMORPG, people were obviously surprised. Now the project, titled New World, has a release date, as the listing on Amazon.com states the game will be available on May 26th, 2020. There are also two different editions, a standard and a deluxe, both of which are available for pre-order.
The Standard Edition of New World, marketed at $39.99, will include just the base game. Amazon's latest venture into the world of gaming promises to bring players an interesting mix of competitive and cooperative gameplay as players vie for control of a dangerous region which is overrun by the forces of the Corrupted.
The Deluxe Edition is priced at $49.99, and for just ten dollars more brings the woodsman armor skin, woodsman boarding axe skin, mastiff house pet, Rock/Paper/Scissors emote set, and the New World digital art book, all of which is most likely all cosmetic bonuses, but a good amount for the price.
Pre-ordering the game before its new release date of May 26th will offer players a guaranteed slot in the game's closed beta alongside the Isabella’s amulet item, the Fist Bump emote, a guild crest set, and the “Expedition One” unique title. Of note, Isabella's amulet may actually be more than just a cosmetic item, but fans will have to wait until May 26th to know for certain.
New World releases exclusively for PC on May 26th.
