New World will “Officially be Taken Offline” in 2027: Full Details

New World: Aeternum, the MMO from Amazon Games, has had its final day online officially marked. Here’s more on when it will go offline and what to expect when it does.

New World is Shutting Down in 2027

Amazon Games has just announced officially that New World: Aeternum will be taken offline on January 31, 2027. Developers outlined this in a post on X and also in a blog post on the game’s website.

“Players who have purchased the game will be able to continue playing until January 31, 2027, when the game’s servers are permanently taken offline. Following that date, players will no longer be able to access New World: Aeternum on any platform.”

This comes alongside several other FAQ’s related to refunds, in-game purchases, and much more. However you spin it, this game will officially sunset in January of next year, giving current players one final year on the once-popular MMO.

Developers thanked players for their time in Aeternum (I had over 100 hours on this game personally) and shared a final reflection amdist a somber time for fans of the game:

“We want to thank the players for your dedication and passion. We are grateful for the time spent crafting the world of Aeternum with you. Together we built something special. While we are saddened to say goodbye, we’re honored that we were able to share so much with the community.

It has been our pleasure to work on New World: Aeternum and evolve this unforgettable adventure with you all. We look forward to one more year together, and giving this fantastic adventure a sendoff worthy of a legendary hero. From the bottom of all our hearts, thank you for sharing this world with us.”

We will update with any further developments, stay tuned.
