From Amazon Games they emphasize that It is not at all a port, but of a spiritual successor. This new version comes enriched with new content, including a major narrative update that includes new characters, dialogue, interactions and cinematics, as well as new options for very deep customization.

New World: Aeternum will take care of lend a hand to newly initiated players, with an experience through which you can navigate such a vast and rich world without being overwhelmed. The adventure will be available for single player or cooperative, with cross-play.
“We have made the gameplay a little more casual”, says game director Scot Lane. Amazon Games has focused on making New World: Aeternum a title more focused on narrative and solo experience.

An accessibility aimed at console players
“We have designed New World Aeternum so that it can be played on console in the most organic way possible,” describes Dave Maldonado, head of console design. “We have been very involved in adapting the control for console controllers, from the simple movement of the character to the aiming assist, “target locking, virtual cursor control, and various controller accessibility settings.” Likewise, accessibility does not conflict with maintaining a good challenge: Amazon Games offers a combat system based on the user’s own skill, with versatility that includes magic, guns and swords.
