Despite the release of a significantly more popular MMO, Lost Ark, popular Twitch streamer and veteran MMO player Asmongold weighed in on the future of Amazon’s New World, claiming it still has potential.
Amazon Games Studio has developed a strong interest in MMOs, releasing two in the last year: New World and the Western release of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Both games experienced initial surges in active players, though Lost Ark has surpassed New World in nearly every metric, while Amazon’s first MMO continues to lose players.
Asmongold has spent hundreds of hours broadcasting in both MMO games in place of his usual World of Warcraft streams. Despite his preference for Lost Ark, the OTK co-founder remains optimistic about New World’s future. He believes the game will be able to recover from its downward spiral.
Though Asmongold is hopeful that the game will improve from its current state, he doubts that New World will ever be the same.
New World is far from dead, despite the fact that its player base is dwindling. With World of Warcraft preparing to announce its next expansion and Lost Ark receiving content updates, more contenders will emerge.
