Fantasy MMO New World got the death knell from Amazon this week, as the company announced season 10 would round out updates to the game amid wider layoffs affecting some 14,000 jobs. Players and devs alike are commiserating, and now a co-founder of Riot Games has put out a call for the talent who are seeking their next gig.

New World at one point had over a million concurrent players on Steam, but will no longer get new content updates in 2026

In a sudden move, Amazon will eliminate more than 14,000 corporate jobs as part of a massive layoff, with many of these job losses affecting the tech giant's gaming division, according to a new Bloomberg report.

Amazon is ending fantasy MMO New World, with season 10 being the last round of updates for the game. As players mourn seeing Aeternum fade into oblivion, the devs have left a little message to everyone who still boots up the magical realm.

A hit MMO at launch, it will now be remembered as an unfortunate sacrifice on the altar of the tech giant’s coming AI transformation. The company has announced that New World will get no more new content.
