New World Ends January 31, 2027

 

 New World ended development in 2025 and will exit existence in 2027.  Amazon announced today that the final day the game will be live is 1/31/2027.  

New World: Aeternum will officially be taken offline from all platforms on January 31, 2027. On January 15, 2026, the title will be delisted and no longer available for purchase. Players will still be able to play New World: Aeternum on their purchased platform, and we are extending the Nighthaven season until the servers are taken offline on January 31, 2027. 

 I am honestly surprised they are keeping it running that long.  The player count has plummeted to only a thousand players during peak times which is rapidly closing into a state where the game is not viable as a massive multiplayer game.  Did they really need to drag it out another year?

 My only outside hope here is maybe they are still trying to offload the game and it's assets to another company.  New World was more popular than many MMOs that are still out there running.  I'd really still like to see the game survive in some official form. 

Sunday 1/4/2026 Post: Packers lose to the Vikings

 The Packers lost a fourth straight game but that's OK because they are still going to the playoffs.  The Packers loss to the Vikings was easily the worst game of football I've ever witnessed in my 4+ decades on this planet.  The Packers, in a week where they placed 6 more players (6!!!!) on injured reserve, chose to sit every player possible while the back ups and practice squad players took on the vikings.  I would say a valiant effort was given but I am not sure an effort was given at all... and even then we may have lost yet another player, Bo Melton, to injury.  But hey we are off to the playoffs against the Bears next week.
