News Reborn RPG New World: Aeternum's Open Beta Is Out Now on PS5

[admin]

​

New World: Aeternum is now in open beta on PS5, allowing everyone to jump in and sample the Amazon Games title over the weekend. For those totally out of the loop, this is an action RPG that can be played solo or in co-op. New World started life as a full-blown MMO on PC a few years back, and while it had to endure an especially rocky launch, many who stuck with the game ended up being pretty positive on the experience.

Aeternum is essentially a relaunch, as New World arrives on consoles for the first time on the 15th October. It's now being marketed specifically as an "Action RPG", rather than an MMO, although from what we understand, the title's overall structure remains largely the same.

Again, the beta's available to download now on Sony's current-gen system. It runs from the 13th September to the 16th September, and participants will be able to play through a good chunk of the adventure, all the way to level 30. You can also unlock a bunch of rewards for use in the full game, although as you'd expect, your actual character and quest progression from the beta won't carry over.

Will you be giving New World: Aeternum a try this weekend? Maybe you played the original version on PC? Get exploring in the comments section below.
