Reborn RPG New World: Aeternum's Open Beta Is Out Now on PS5 | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

New World: Aeternum is now in open beta on PS5, allowing everyone to jump in and sample the Amazon Games title over the weekend. For those totally out of the loop, this is an action RPG that can be played solo or in co-op. New World started life as a full-blown MMO on PC a few years back, and while it had to endure an especially rocky launch, many who stuck with the game ended up being pretty positive on the experience.

Aeternum is essentially a relaunch, as New World arrives on consoles for the first time on the 15th October. It's now being marketed specifically as an «Action RPG», rather than an MMO, although from what we understand, the title's overall structure remains largely the same.

Again, the beta's available to download now on Sony's current-gen system. It runs from the 13th September to the 16th September, and participants will be able to play through a good chunk of the adventure, all the way to level 30. You can also unlock a bunch of rewards for use in the full game, although as you'd expect, your actual character and quest progression from the beta won't carry over.

A whole new New World

Will you be giving New World: Aeternum a try this weekend? Maybe you played the original version on PC? Get exploring in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

Let's hope I can get in before the beta ends!

I enjoyed the closed beta, but the fullscreen water mark was a real turn off.

Just realized I’m still under NDA for that beta. It’s been nice knowing you guys
