The premise, in the publisher's words
For thousands of years, Aeternum has been the source of fantastical legends—and now you’ve found it.

In such a land, your destiny is whatever you make of it. Aeternum's mysteries run as deep and dark as its history. Delve into the world and uncover the secret truth of the island and its millennia of strange inhabitants. As you explore Aeternum, you’ll discover beauty, danger, and opportunity at every turn. You'll need to use all your skills to take advantage of the island's bounty—and survive its horrors.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel® Core i5-10500 @ 3.10GHz / AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA GTX 1060 3 GB / AMD Radeon RX 590. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. It also needs around 100GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
New World: Aeternum launched on 28 September 2021, within three weeks of Deathloop, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Far Cry 6 and Inscryption. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 1 year into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Deathloop, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Far Cry 6, Inscryption.
