Overview
- Season 10’s Nighthaven update is the final content release for New World: Aeternum on PC and consoles.
- Amazon says servers are intended to stay online through 2026 and promises at least six months’ notice before any change that affects playability.
- Nighthaven is free to all players and the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion is free on PC, while the game and cash‑shop purchases remain available with no refunds planned.
- Active development shifts to maintenance with bug fixes, quality‑of‑life updates, world bosses, bonus weeks, and some seasonal events, while holiday events are canceled.
- The move follows cuts affecting roughly 14,000 roles across Amazon, including significant reductions at Amazon Games studios in Orange County, San Diego, and Irvine tied to a broader shift away from MMOs.
