Amazon's MMORPG New World: Aeternum to shut down servers in 2027, but game remains live until January 31st.
In a move that marks the end of an era for fans of massively multiplayer online games, Amazon has confirmed that it will be discontinuing support for its MMO, New World: Aeternum. While all sales of the game will cease effective immediately, the servers are set to go offline on January 31st, 2027, giving players a little over two years to wrap up any remaining gameplay.
Those who have already purchased and installed the game will still be able to continue playing until the shutdown date, but once the servers go dark, they will no longer be available. Players can expect to lose access to in-game currencies like Marks of Fortune, which will stop being sellable from July 20th of this year. Notably, refunds for any Marks of Fortune purchases will not be offered.
The discontinuation comes as part of Amazon's broader plan to focus its gaming efforts elsewhere, with the Aeternum game serving as the final chapter in a once-promising MMO experience.

I mean, I knew it was never going to be like Final Fantasy XIV or WoW, but still sad to see it go... Amazon's probably focusing on other things now, trying to revamp their gaming strategy. But, for those of us who spent countless hours in the world of Aeternum, it's gonna leave a void 
I'm guessing there are still some dedicated players out there who'll keep it alive till the very end... or until they run out of Marks of Fortune 
, lol! Anyway, gotta make the most of these last two years and enjoy the game while it's still playable 
. I mean, I knew it was struggling, but 2027 feels like too soon? 
Still, I guess it's not surprising given the whole gaming overhaul thing Amazon's been going through lately.
And those Marks of Fortune are really gonna hurt some players - I mean, who buys in-game currency? 
Guess it's just one more thing for gamers to deal with.
Still, I know there were many fans who loved the game and will be sad to see it go.
However, it's still disappointing for those of us who are fans of the game.
i'm gonna make sure to spend as much time in game as possible before it goes dark 
mark of fortune, i'll miss you 
anyway, thanks amazon for giving us a heads up 
and to all my friends out there, let's keep the good times rolling till jan 31st 
. And no refunds on Marks of Fortune purchases? That's harsh, Amazon 
. On one hand, I get it, they need to cut losses and focus on other areas. But can't they just give fans a bit more time or some kind of closure? It's like they're leaving the community hanging 
.
