One of Amazon Games’ more promising titles an upcoming MMO called ‘New World is slated for a closed beta in July 2020.
I had some hands-on with the game last year, however, things have changed since then. The entire game has been given an overhaul to the point where it’s a completely different game. I’ve seen it making some waves here and there since then, as Amazon Game’s try to drum up interest in the title. It also made an appearance during the PC Gaming Show that took place on June 13th, 2020, where a new trailer was shown.
In this trailer, we have a chance to see the revamped combat system and as I said before, this game has been through a lot of changes. None of this looks remotely like what I played before. Which is a good thing as the original game was quite boring and not very appealing.
As for the closed beta, it will take start on July 23, 2020, with no word on when it will end. If you want to partake in the closed beta, there are two ways; pre-order the game or sign-up over on the official website for the game. If you pre-order the game then you’re guaranteed a slot in the closed beta if you’re interested in getting some early hands-on.
