Amazon Games announced that New World: Aeternum, an action RPG experience, is heading to the consoles with crossplay on October 15.

Console players will get to join PC players as they set foot on the supernatural island of Aeternum. As a shipwrecked explorer who washes ashore on the mysterious island, you get to forge your destiny on an adventure filled with danger and opportunity.

Amazon Games said Aeternum is coming to the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC starting on October 15, 2024. Players can choose to explore Aeternum solo or co-op, using cross-platform play to team up with others. New World Aeternum launched on the PC in 2021.

New World Aeternum

Players can explore the island of Aeternum. It’s a massive, beautiful world and uncover the secret truth of the eternal island and its strange inhabitants. Endless opportunities to fight, forage, and forge await among the island’s wilderness and ruins.

You can play solo or use cross-platform play to team up with others or compete head-to-head in a variety of PvP battles. Customize the look, skills, and abilities of your character, and experiment with different builds to suit your play style.

Players can control magical forces or wield deadly melee and ranged weapons. Timing and positioning are key to defeating enemies in combat. Use your skills to survive the island’s horrors and reap its valuable rewards.
