Amazon’s Upcoming MMO New World Delayed Due to Coronavirus

Amazon Game Studios today announced their decision to delay the release of its upcoming MMO New World until August 25th and the start of Closed Beta to July.

“Like most of you, our entire team has been sequestered as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic. While we are still making great progress, developing an ambitious MMO like New World remotely has introduced some challenges. We want to make sure that we have the time needed to make New World the very best it can be for our players. As a result, we’ve chosen to delay the game’s release in order to reach our quality bar as we work remotely for the foreseeable future.”
