Feast for the Future - From New World to the Real World

Amazon Games and New World are taking part in the 2024 Playing for the Planet Green Game Jam . The Green Game Jam is an annual project organized by Playing for the Planet where gaming studios are challenged to implement 'green activations' into their games. This year’s event is about making small changes to the way we eat to drive demand for more sustainable food sources.

From land use to transportation, processing, and packaging, greenhouse gas emissions are an unfortunate consequence of each step. Some sources of food have more significant impacts than others, especially for your own well-being.
How does New World compare to the real world? How much of the food types did players craft? What were the top recipes prepared? Check out our Feast for the Future infographic to see how Aeternum compares to our world.
Meat and Dairy recipes comprise the majority of crafted consumables in Aeternum with over 800 million (67%) crafted. Total Vegetarian and Vegan dishes crafted surpassed 400 million (33%).
If Aeternum was real and not eternally self-sustaining, the impact on food sustainability would be significant. Meat and Dairy consumption have the most significant impact on greenhouse emissions from land, feed, processing, and waste
