You will then be directed to the Xbox store where you will be able to download the New World: Aeternum closed beta.
Those unsure if the game is for you can check out this official synopsis:
“New World: Aeternum is an action RPG set on the supernatural island of Aeternum in the twilight of the Age of Exploration.
As a shipwrecked explorer who washes ashore on the mysterious island, forge your destiny on an adventure filled with danger and opportunity.
There is a lot to discover on the island of Aeternum with endless opportunities to fight, forage, and forge.
Play your way by fully customizing the look and abilities of your character with access to swords, guns, and sorcery.”
The MMORPG currently sits at a “mixed” review rating on Steam with players claiming that the game “died” after a year.
However, having it released on console may kick start its revival but it remains to be seen how the Amazon Games’ title will be received by a new legion of players.
