Vitae Aeternum: New World’s Secret Level episode and Amazon’s odd priorities
- Amazon's Prime Video launched a short animated episode based on New World as part of its Secret Level anthology series.
- The episode, named The Once and Future King, introduces Aelstrom, a minor character in the game, as the protagonist.
- The story is predictable and is full of quirky humour that fails to do justice to the game's unique features.
- Moreover, the story trivializes the spiritual struggle for existential horror that characters face through centuries of traumatic death and rebirth.
- The episode's treatment of the Corrupted also fails to deliver and is an opportunity for more laughs.
- The article states that this episode isn't an excellent advertisement for the game, and it's frustrating as there were many other fascinating stories to adapt.
- Amazon Games is willing to spend big on advertising and promotional activities for the game, despite its slow development and present glitches.
- The article suggests that Amazon Game's bosses don't know how to run a successful games studio, which can impact games like New World in the long run.
- The writer hopes that Amazon can learn to prioritize its resources better and keep the momentum alive for games like New World.
