New World is officially in maintenance mode following massive layoffs at Amazon Games, which saw some 14,000 jobs cut, including those tied to the MMO. Mentions of AI and the sudden nature of this move threw players into an uproar, and they are now actively review-bombing the game.
As we covered yesterday, New World, Amazon's MMO and WoW rival, is going into maintenance. The game won't receive any new content from here on, which could be an overture into a complete shutdown in the coming months. The game came out in 2021 and was (and is) far from dead, peaking at around 40,000 players daily, which is a lot more than most games can hope for.
