Amazon Ends New World: Aeternum’s ‘Eternal’ Run — Forever
A game named 'Aeternum' — meaning 'eternal' — is getting a definitive end date just two years after launch. Amazon will shut down servers for New World: Aeternum on January 31, 2027, marking the conclusion of its brief lifespan.
The game was delisted and no longer available for purchase as of January 15, 2024, with in-game currency Marks of Fortune ceasing to be purchasable after July 20, 2026. Players retain access to purchased games until the final server shutdown but will not receive refunds for in-game purchases.
Amazon confirmed it will not add new content to the game, signaling a strategic pivot away from long-term MMO development toward shorter, party-focused titles.
The 2023 announcement initially stated servers would remain active through 2026, but this was later clarified as a permanent closure. The timeline for players includes delisting on January 15, 2024, followed by the in-game currency cutoff in mid-2026 and the final server shutdown in early 2027.
