We are already a few hours away from the launch of one of the most anticipated video games of 2021 on PC: New World, the MMO from Amazon Games, will be released tomorrow, September 28. Players have shown their interest in the title and, in fact, it reached a million players in the closed beta. After several delays, it will finally see the light and Amazon trusts him blindly.
In an interview on Games Industry, the vice president of Amazon’s video game division, Christoph Hartmann, explained that the company trusts New World. What’s more, the manager has said that he will surprise many players and that he will restore faith in the future of the studio, after the failures of Crucible and other projects that have been canceled.
Amazon Games learned with Crucible to release the games when they’re ready, according to Hartmann, hence the patience with New World. In fact, the vice president sees the MMO as the game that “will teach of what Amazon is capable“The worker has stated that there is a” potential success on the horizon “and adds to that argument Lost Ark, a game that was delayed to 2022.
Amazon thinks New World will surprise
“I think New World is going to catch you by surprise to many people who had already ruled it out, who thought it was never going to be launched. I see much enthusiasm towards video games inside the company, a lot of support; and that’s on the rise, rather than people getting fed up with it, “Hartmann said. Amazon continues to believe in video games and New World is selling a lot on reserve.
The manager explained that there is no type of indication that makes him think that the company is getting tired of this division and that there is confidence in the success of Amazon Games, with clear support from Jeff Bezos. “And once we have a big success, what do I think it’s going to be New World, we will have even more support because we will proved what we’re worth“, has asserted.
