Update: Well, the leak was right. New World is coming to PS5 later this year, on the 15th October.
Original Story: Do you remember hearing about New World? An MMORPG developed by Amazon Games that was given an absolutely colossal marketing budget, it was a big deal when it released on PC a few years back. The goal was to create an MMO that could go on to rival the genre's elite, but it's fair to say that New World all but fell off a cliff following its anticipated debut. The game still commands a decently-sized community, but really, it's just been bumbling along in the background for years now.
However, it looks like New World could be attempting a comeback in very near future. After posting a Summer Game Fest teaser on its social media accounts last month, the PS Store may have outed plans for a console release. As spotted by a user on Reddit, a promotion for New World: Aeternum briefly appeared on Sony's storefront.
It would appear that New World is getting some kind of renamed re-release, then — and it's probably being announced at Summer Game Fest later today.
Do you know of New World? Dare we ask if you've played it on PC? Would you be interested in a PS5 version? Start gathering materials in the comments section below.

Is this a full priced game or subscription based?
I might try it on PS5 if this is true. It got a reputation for destroying 3090 graphics cards on PC, and as I use a 3090 on my PC, I stayed well away!
@UltimateOtaku91 its not, although mmo it looks like it was a traditional pay to play and expansions without the sub like ff14
Is there an Old World?
One of the most fun combat wise MMOs out there, but it's also incredibly directionless and it's just "there".
At least it doesn't have a subscription model and it's decently cheap but yeah, go cautiously.
Still the combat and the leveling experience is really fun since the combat is great, but the story, the end game content and the raids aren't that great.
Id say it's kinda a mid to good game overall
Smells like it could be a could be a good PS+ game at launch
I got excited because I thought this was Lost Ark for a minute. That’s another MMO that needs to make it to console.
@UltimateOtaku91 pay once to buy the game, no subscription. Not sure what it will be priced tho.
@CutchuSlow It was $40 on PC at launch, but it already has a paid expansion which is $30
Maybe $60 as a "package deal"?
@Titntin I think it's fixed now and it wasn't all 3090s. I think it was a specific brand. It only happened during launch.
@Faruko oh I didn't realise they had made an expansion. Thanks.
I played it on PC when it launched. It was ok. But it ran horribly. And it had forced grouping to see the story.
They have had a ton of patched since then so maybe its better.
@CutchuSlow Cheers dude, yeah it was mainly my brand! My card was £2k when I bought it, so I wasn't taking any chances
But I was interested in trying it, which is why a PS5 release appeals!
I may try it. I really wanted to like this game but I just found the combat boring and I didnt like the skills. Basically like 3 attacks for each weapon and that was it.
@Oregondan yea and even though you could switch weapon the skills were mid at best. Crazy to thin GW2 has the same concept with its skills but does it much better and that game is 12 years old
@Kienda ..yes, Lost Ark is great and a perfect fit for consoles
@HotGoomba yes, everquest
I actually really enjoyed this game, dropped 300 hours into it.
Well it’s no Dark Age of Camelot, but I’d give it a whirl.
Geoff said the game can be played solo or co op with the new update, so now I'm slightly interested.
Hopefully it's a monthly sub game. I'm so tired of slo-bro free to play junk.
@Bunchesopuppies I'm yet to find any MMORPG that holds my attention like DAoC. It's the goat of MMOs imo. Nothing has ever been as fun as raiding those keeps and doing relic runs
