Amazon Games has shared the love story of aNew Worldcouple coinciding with Valentine’s Day.New Worldmay have been somewhat overshadowed byAmazon Games’ other big MMO,Lost Ark, which has some impressive stats for the first-year anniversary, but the title is still popular enough to start some romances.
For some, Valentine’s Day is just another day on the calendar, but for others, it’s something much more personal. And sometimes it’s just a nice chance to get something cute like theSackboy: A Big Adventurefree Valentine’s Day DLC. Romance will forever be a tricky topic, filled with highs, lows, crossed wires, and a feeling of wanting to be understood. Before even getting to that part, it can be difficult for some to even know what to say to lead to an opportunity for a connection with someone else. Amazon Games understands this and so sought to helpNew Worldplayers out.

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Amazon Games got in touch withNew Worldcontent creator ItsHilaryMason and her boyfriend Steven to ask about how they met in-game. The article details how the two met and how interaction via the game’s chat and social system brought them closer. ItsHilaryMason explains that they both took their roles inNew Worldquite seriously, and ended up talking a lot about thoughts and concerns. This paved the way for them to build up a really strong friendship that eventually branched out from talking aboutNew Worldinto their real everyday lives.
The article emphasizes that players should “just say hi.” This is not only important as a way to make a romantic connection but to fully engage with the collaborative nature of MMO games. A lot of online games focus on building a competitive environment, but it is important to remember that there is a lot to gain from building friendships and collaborating. Taking a gentler approach can lead to unique experiences, such as theElden Ringinvader that likes to take walksaround the host’s world.
New Worldmay not have had a Valentine’s Day event to match its previousWinter Convergence Festivalor the Thanksgiving event, but this reminder for players to make a connection with one another could be viewed to go one step beyond. Emphasizing the game’s inherent nature of community and the opportunities that come in tandem with it reminds players of the possibilities within the game world. It’s a reminder not only forNew Worldplayers but for fans of all games that their passion for the gaming world creates a bond.
New Worldis available on PC.
