Perfect New World is a brand new upcoming Asian-fantasy MMORPG, developed as a direct successor to the popular Perfect World MMO.

Perfect New World is holding a Global Closed Beta as part of their “Exploratory Closed Beta Test,” allowing players to explore a new world filled with eastern fantasy inspired mythology, areas, monsters.
The Closed Beta specifics are below:

Start: April 7, 2023, at 10:00 EDT
End: April 23, 2023, at 23:59 EDT
Platform: STEAM
Time: May 4, 2023

It is unconfirmed how long this Beta test will last or approximately how many players will be allowed access. They noted it will be “limited,” but didn’t disclose if that meant 100 or 100,000.
Pre-registration is done via their official website, which you can navigate towards via the button below.

They noted that the content of the game is still in development, and therefore isn’t fully represented by what is seen in-game at the time of the Beta.
After the test, all data will be deleted. You are not allowed to share or sell your access.

We just finished covering Perfect World Games’ brand new upcoming “Perfect New World” MMORPG for release on PC and consoles (currently undisclosed specifically which consoles the MMO is going to release on,) but with that announcement came another: Perfect New World is getting a standalone mobile MMO version as well, completely disconnected from the PC/console incarnations of the game.

Despite having an identical name (it honestly doesn’t even have the “mobile” prefix,) Perfect New World is being built as its own game. Yes, the MMO is being built on Unreal Engine 4 – looking at the game is evidence of that. It’s a beautiful looking title from the (single) trailer we’ve seen for it.

Much like the vast majority of new mobile MMO reveals, Perfect World Games have confirmed that this game is going to have a large focus on not only co-operative play, but also on large-scale battles featuring a plethora of different players occupying the same world-space at once.

Additionally, and I’m not sure why this is necessarily a feature they feel the need to mention, but NPCs are going to have their own individual appearance and routing patterns. Every NPC? I highly doubt it, but I’m assuming important ones. If they plan on animating every single NPC separately, I foresee this game taking a couple decades to finish.

Perfect New World is confirmed to be in development for a global audience. Perfect New World mobile, though? While nothing concrete has been confirmed, I wouldn’t believe why New Jade Dynasty World and Perfect New World would both receive global released, and not have the mobile version of Perfect New World receive the same treatment.

I’m curious to see where Perfect New World’s mobile game ends up going, as we already have a Perfect World Mobile MMO – but this looks contrastingly different to both the PC version and mobile versions of the game.

Despite the unusual name (that seems to be an amalgamation of both the upcoming “New World” MMORPG from Amazon Game Studios, but also of the “Perfect World” MMORPG from Perfect World Entertainment,) it seems as though we’re getting a brand new upcoming open-world MMORPG later this year.

Yes, while we don’t know specifically what type of release is going to take place in 2021 (Alpha? Beta? Full release?) What we do know is that Perfect World Games are in the process of developing multiple MMORPGs, specifically, Perfect New World, for both PC and consoles. Yes you heard that correctly! This MMO is going to be completely cross-platform compatible, meaning that players will be able to play on their PC or the PS5/Xbox (if they opt to release on both, as currently the platforms in question are unconfirmed.)

You’d think considering this is being made under the same “Perfect World” IP that this would be a remake or a sequel, but it turns out they’re developing this to be run concurrently from the main Perfect World title, being entirely disconnected. Perfect New World is going to bring with it new features, new graphics, an overhauled combat system (although we’re uncertain whether it’s going to be action or tab-target,) and more.

Yes, Perfect New World has been confirmed to be releasing globally. We don’t have an exact release date for the global release as we don’t even have an exact release date for the Chinese incarnation of the game but it’s worth noting that they’re developing the MMO for global audiences in mind. So while it very well might end up pay-to-win, it should also cater (even if a little,) to Western players.

Now this is an interesting MMO announcement. I never anticipated Perfect World Games to develop another Perfect World MMORPG, especially given how much of my life (and money around 2008-2010) I wasted on that game, but here we are, with my past coming right back to the forefront of my life. Which I’m not complaining about, as those 2 years were some of the best of my entire career online playing video games.

I’m excited to see where Perfect New World ultimately ends up as this looks so drastically different to what we’re all used to, but at the same time I’m definitely cautiously optimistic.
