The popular MMO “New World” has reached a grim milestone as Amazon pulls it from Steam, leaving the market effectively devoid of purchase options. Users that previously enjoyed the game are voicing their frustration, shocked by the sudden decision to halt its development and remove its purchasing possibilities.

This decision comes amid substantial restructuring at Amazon, leading to thousands of job cuts, and it has raised concerns about the game’s future. In a strange turn of events, despite promises that the game would remain on all platforms, it vanished without warning from Steam, with only a static image remaining, signaling no further updates to come.

Further details of the situation can be viewed via the Wayback Machine, which preserved a previous version of the store page laden with trailers and positive reviews.

Players have expressed disappointment, with some commenting that their loyalty will not bring the game back, highlighting corporate mismanagement as the source of its demise. Screenshots, trailers, and buying options have all vanished, reflecting a swift and somewhat brutal end to a game that once held promise in the MMO market.

For updates on the developments regarding New World and future Amazon games, players and followers can keep their eyes peeled on gaming news outlets.
