Amazon Games Studio has announced they will be pushing the launch of the upcoming MMO New World.
New World Launch Gets Delayed to September 28th
Amazon’s upcoming MMO New World was previously scheduled to be released at the end of August, but the developer has now announced the game will be launching on September 28th.
This isn’t the first delay that the game has seen, and the news comes after the closed beta which finished this week. In the post on the official Twitter account, Amazon explains that the delay is in “pursuit of quality”, acknowledging that fans will be disappointed but explaining it will be to “deliver you the highest quality game possible at launch”.
The post also mentions the feedback they gained from the closed beta which means they will need “a few extra weeks to smash bugs, improve stability, and polish the game”.
