Once you make it through the game’s tutorial sequence, you’ll then be able to get into the game world itself and start doing some exploring. The game throws you into a tutorial in which you have to fight your former shipmates. In the game, you play as a survivor of a shipwreck who has washed up on the shores of Aeternum to find that everyone else on their boat ended up turning into evil, almost undead creatures. The game is set in Aeternum, which is a fictional island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, positioned between Europe and North America. New World is an interesting step for Amazon Game Studios, and it’s also a pretty ambitious first project for the nascent game development studio.
