I remember when New World launched back in 2021. There were colossal server queues, disconnects, and a whole lot of hysterical laughter turned crying as you finally hit the shores of Aeternum, and were promptly yeeted back to the main menu. While I forged unique bonds with my then-colleagues, feeling like we'd experienced something the rest of the globe would never quite understand, it's no secret that server issues are incredibly annoying. Speaking to New World Aeternum's senior producer Katy Kaszynski in an exclusive PCGamesN interview, I ask how the team is planning to ensure a smooth launch for its fresh take on its magical MMO.
