Amazon's New World Releases This August, Beta Coming Next Month - GameSpot

Amazon Games' PC MMO New World is set to be one of the biggest projects ever produced by the company, and brand-new gameplay and details were revealed during the June 13 PC Gaming Show--including the release date.

It hasn't been available to the public yet, but New World enters closed beta on July 23 for anyone who pre-orders. These players will also receive special digital items, including a fist bump emote, "Isabella's amulet," a guild crest set, and a unique title.

New World will then release just a month later on August 25, and the simultaneous global launch should ensure there are plenty of players right off the bat. The game will feature enormous 100-player fortress sieges, skill-based combat, and the ability to form Companies with each other to operate out of strongholds. The game also does not include character classes, allowing you to customize your hero as you see fit without fitting into a set archetype.

New World was designed with a team that includes veterans from several MMO and shared-world games, including World of Warcraft and Destiny. With few large-scale games released by Amazon Games thus far, it's set to be one of the division's early defining moments.
