Titled “This Is Aeternum,” the promo focuses on showing off more of the game’s world and the battles that will ensue within it, as the game’s main characters square off against a variety of powerful enemies. These range from giant demonic beasts and skeletal warriors to undead pirates and large sabertooth cats.
Throughout the trailer, it’s made clear that New World will offer players a range of areas to explore too, with the protagonists wandering through underground caverns, exploring expansive jungles, and venturing to crowded towns. It seems the game will generally offer a blend of different settings, as the game’s pirate-era world meshes with the game’s fantasy environments and enemies. One moment even shows the pair clash, as a large ship comes into contact with a malevolent evil force that sinks it and kills its occupants.
Other interesting aspects of the trailer show off some of the game’s armor and weapons, revealing that players will be able to kit themselves out to fit their personal playstyle. The arsenal includes hammers, swords, bow and arrows, war-axes, and magical staffs, each of which appears to come in various different forms. The game is shaping up to be a very ambitious fantasy MMO, making it one to watch for fans of the genre in the lead up to August 31.
New World is scheduled to be released on August 31 for PC.
