Three years of patches, a console launch, and a full rebrand later, New World: Aeternum is a more coherent MMO than it had any right to be after its disastrous 2021 debut. Worth a look for patient explorers, a harder sell for anyone expecting narrative depth or Souls-style combat.

Three modes, one free download, and a cheater problem that Team Jade is still chasing down nine seasons in. Worth your time if you squad up; rougher if you go solo.
