The open beta for ‘New World’ starts September 9

New World’s open beta is coming on September 9 for anyone eager to try out the exploration-based MMORPG that’s stealing World of Warcraft‘s thunder. 

Hopping into New World’s beta is as easy as requesting access on its Steam page once it’s available, which Amazon Game Studios said should be ready by September 8. Again, this is a stress test of sorts, so even if you get in, there’s a good chance its servers will capsize like the old Viking Gokstad ships that are all over the game. 

Coinciding with the open beta announcement is a new trailer for New World, which you can watch below.

Amazon Games Studios have stated that participating in the open beta for New World won’t require purchasing the game itself. So if you’re even slightly interested, it might be worth giving it a go. During the closed beta, New World hit 200,000 concurrent players. A staggering feat for a brand-new MMORPG, so it’s clear that the hype is real.
