New World Update 1.4.4 Makes a Lot of Changes
Amazon Game’s New World has undoubtedly had its ups and downs. The beta was massively popular last September, with a day one peek of over 140,000 players. However, the game did not quite manage to sustain that success, due in part to its various bugs and balance issues.
