New World: Aeternum shares open beta stats ahead of launch

Amazon Games is busy prepping MMO action RPG, New World: Aeternum, for its October 15^th launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, but not too busy to share some statistics from its recent open beta. More than 10 million quests were completed, nearly 40 million enemies slain in the open world, and 168 fools attempted the Sandwurm fight but died trying. Additionally, the most popular character archetype was Swordbearer, though the most used weapon was a bow.

I wasn’t able to hop in the open beta but was fortunate enough to test the game out earlier this year on PS5 and came away hopeful that it could finally be the MMO that grabs me.
