Sorry not sorry for the title for this news:
My preview of New World, Amazon Game Studios’ forthcoming massively multiplayer online PC game, would be limited to eyes-on, thanks to my stone-age potato of a gaming laptop. This is a game that touts 50-on-50 smackdowns, after all. Even if a new MMO sounds like as much of a 2012 enterprise as my rig, New World is trying to meet 2021 expectations of gameplay and environment...
New World’s preview event — which is open to those who have pre-ordered the game, or signed up for the beta prior to July 9 — gets going Tuesday at noon ET. Progression from this beta (and prior alphas) will be wiped prior to the game’s launch. That is coming sometime in spring 2021; it was delayed (for a second time) last month. In July, the developers said they wanted to respond to player feedback from the game’s alpha tests, and develop more mid- and end-game content, which the War represents.
Another preview video (one of many popping up everywhere) above. Ironically New World is not actually the kind of world New World Notes usually notes -- no robust content creation tools that I can see, for one thing, and shouldn't a world called New World be more about exploring the new world, not killing other people new to the new world? -- but given that it is called New World, I feel obliged to note it nonetheless.
This for some reason looks like a trash bin on fire on a boat on fire on a river on fire. it is a TBOFOBOFOROFMMORPG.

New world is the same as Old World; Exploration followed by genocide. That is the natural progression of the human race.

People killing people, or stuff killing stuff: Zero interest. We got enough of that IRL.
I'd rather build something.
