is new world game free

New World is an upcoming MMO from Amazon Game Studios. It is set in a persistent, player-driven world in the 16th century. The game is currently in closed alpha, with plans for a beta in Q2 2019 and a release in 2020. New World is a free-to-play game, with optional cosmetic and convenience microtransactions.

The game was first announced in 2016, with initial alpha testing beginning in March 2019. New World is Amazon Game Studios' first MMO. The game is developed by a team at Amazon Game Studios led by Patrick Gilmore, who previously worked on games such as Dark Age of Camelot and Rift.

The game is set on the island of Aeternum, a "lost paradise" that is the last remnants of the cosmos. Players will start as colonists from one of three factions, the Marauders, the Dominion, or the Independent. They will need to explore, build, and fight to survive and thrive in the hostile world.

New World is an ambitious game that aims to improve on the flaws of other MMOs. It is a player-driven game, with a unique take on combat, crafting, and geopolitics. The game is currently in alpha testing, and is scheduled for release in 2020.
