💔 Why New World matters to us

New World is more than just a game. It is a world where people forge friendships, embark on adventures, and escape from daily life for a few precious hours. A world we have built together through victories, defeats, endless battles, and countless hours of passion, teamwork, and community.

For many, Aeternum is not merely an island; it is a home. A place where, after a long day at work, friends gather to experience one more adventure and to connect in a world that feels more familiar every time we return. However, our sanctuary is under threat as Amazon.com Inc. plans major layoffs affecting its video-game division, risking the future of New World.

Amazon’s sweeping layoff plan will result in more than 14,000 corporate jobs being cut, targeting significant roles in Irvine, San Diego, and its central publishing division. New World is not just a casualty in a larger corporate restructuring; it is a beloved virtual home for thousands of players who have invested their time and heart into this universe.

We believe that with its dedicated community, New World still has potential and relevance. It deserves to thrive and continue growing, not to be disbanded as just another business casualty. We are asking Amazon to reconsider its decision and provide New World a chance to evolve, sustained by its passionate player base and devoted team who wish to continue crafting and expanding the game’s vibrant world.

Please support us in petitioning Amazon.com Inc. to save our world in New World from closure. Let us unite to show them that Aeternum is worth preserving for the future, for us and for the new adventurers who will continue this journey with us. If you share our passion for this shared universe, join us by signing this petition and help ensure that New World's legacy continues beyond 2026.
