What is New World: Aeternum?

New World: Aeternum is an action RPG set on the supernatural island of Aeternum at the twilight of the Age of Discovery. As a shipwrecked explorer washed ashore on the mysterious island’s shores, you forge your destiny in an adventure filled with danger and opportunity.

There’s a lot to explore on the island of Aeternum, with endless opportunities for fighting, gathering, and forging. Play your way by fully customizing your character’s appearance and abilities with access to swords, firearms, and sorcery. As a player who enjoys melee builds, I’ll be experimenting with swords, but can’t wait to see other builds everyone comes up with.

If you would like to learn more, please visit the Official New World: Aeternum website!
