When new worlds collide…

Amazon Games’ first major release, New World, is a video game years in development, with the ambition to blend historical accuracy with fantasy. The concept art team reveal what it’s taken to combine fact and fantasy in a massively multiplayer online open world inspired by 17th century exploration.

New World is a jigsaw of influences. Its world, the continent of Aeternum, is where myths, folktales and legends of the era become real. “Aeternum is where all those tall tales. “So we wanted to have this contrast between being grounded in reality while also embracing supernatural and fantasy elements.”
