The era of release shifts continues. Amazon's MMO New World gets a new start date for the fourth time. The recently finished beta has still revealed some weaknesses that Amazon wants to eradicate with a bit more time.
A few days ago, the Closed Beta ended from Amazon for MMO New World . The original release date was the 31st of August, this moves by exactly four weeks. Via Twitter, Amazon Games published a statement:
new world will be published only at the end of September
The new release date is the 28 . September 2021 and is therefore the fourth shift from New World. The developer justifies the renewed delay with the enormous feedback from the Beta successful for Amazon Games from New World. Over a million players are to participate in the test run and have submitted many suggestions for improvement. To resolve as many bugs as possible and increase stability, Amazon Games needs another four weeks.

The shift is the right decision
_A Comment by Daniel: _
As someone who played the beta, I have to say The shift is little surprising . There were even a few real problems that have led to server and stability issues, and there were still different bugs and many exploits in New World. Regardless of what you personally believe from content, a release is already problematic under this point of view alone. But these are problems with the game, as it currently exists. Of course, it is hardly possible to remove content in eight weeks of content, but a largely clean game ** without exploits and bugs, which significantly affect the existing gaming experience is feasible through the feedback from the beta.

Those who are satisfied with the basic game concept of New World should see the shift as a positive message. Clearly, the game lacks a greater weapon and thus skills pool, the quests are also rather 08/15 and the storytelling needs much more love. Depending on the level of development of the beta, however, there will not be so much in eight weeks, it would be a positive surprise.
What should Amazon Games do otherwise? Take the beta a month before release, maybe something optimistic was , but now you have the whole feedback and with that you have to do something else, otherwise you talk to the players. For me, New World wants to be a rather PVP-Lasty MMO with a strong focus on the social possibilities of the genres and a crafting system . Who does not suit, for that's New World just nothing. The skeleton for this MMO exists and that Amazon should polish properly by September 28th and stabilize so that it can easily run from alone. For me, there is no question that in the future but still neat meat on New World has to turn.
