At the time, Amazon said New World would remain online during 2026. <\/p>\n<p>New World was a rare hit for Amazon in the video game space, and followed multiple flops that resulted in game and studio closures. The MMO set in an alternate 1600s America saw huge player numbers on Steam, with a whopping 913,634 peak concurrents on Valve&#8217;s platform back in 2021. Player numbers significantly declined following that peak, however.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-10-28\/amazon-makes-significant-cuts-in-video-game-division\">Bloomberg<\/a> had reported that Amazon was cutting back especially on MMOs, but would continue to develop Amazon Games Montreal\u2019s March of Giants, its new Tomb Raider game in the works at Crystal Dynamics, and &#8220;casual and AI-focused games&#8221; for its cloud gaming service Luna. UK studio Maverick Games were said to be continuing to work on its racing game, too. Following the news about New World, there was concern over the status of Amazon&#8217;s The Lord of the Rings MMO. Amazon has yet to provide an update on it.<\/p>\n<p>But is there hope for New World yet? Alistair McFarlane, COO and company director at Rust developer Facepunch Studios, tweeted to offer Amazon $25 million for New World, adding: \u201cGames should never die.\u201d \u201cIf you need tips about buying cancelled games, lmk,\u201d Hypixel Studios founder Simon Collins-Laflamme, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/hytale-isnt-even-out-yet-and-its-already-made-enough-money-to-cover-the-next-2-years-of-development-costs\">who rescued Hytale<\/a> after years spent in the doldrums at League of Legends maker Riot Games, replied.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">25m, final offer <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/amazongames?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@amazongames<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Alistair McFarlane (@Alistair_McF) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Alistair_McF\/status\/2011890710468071708?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 15, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It sounds like McFarlane has thought about this, explaining what should happen to New World rather than closure: \u201cAs with everything we do at Facepunch, empower the community. Give them control, make servers publicly hostable.
