    For Amazon Game Studios, developing and growing New World posed a unique challenge: how to continuously expand the ambitious MMORPG on multiple platforms, deliver compelling new content, and maintain technical excellence, all without overextending their internal teams.\u00a0<\/p>

    Virtuos became a trusted partner by consistently delivering quality content and completing more complex mandates over time. We have brought deep technical expertise, creative autonomy, and a global team that evolved alongside the project since before its launch in 2021.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The collaboration began in 2019 with Virtuos supporting Amazon Game Studios through character art and outfit creation, meeting tight deadlines for New World’s launch. Our teams rapidly scaled and adapted, building high-fidelity 2D and 3D assets that enriched the game\u2019s vibrant world.\u00a0<\/p>

    As trust grew, Virtuos Paris took on more complex responsibilities, designing and developing enemies, NPCs, and epic boss fights critical to the PvE experience. This mandate expanded to full ownership of all creature content, enabling Amazon Game Studios\u2019 internal teams to focus on other priorities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    In 2023, Virtuos was entrusted with its most ambitious mandate to date: the complete end-to-end development of the Isle of Night raid for New World\u2019s Season 10 Nighthaven expansion, scheduled for release in October 2025. Our Paris studio led this monumental task, delivering a fully realized new raid instance that pushes the boundaries of design and immersion for the game.<\/p>

    This encompassed:<\/p>

    • Complete level design for a complex, story-rich raid environment filled with puzzles and lore<\/li>
    • Design and in-depth development of three unique bosses with sophisticated AI behaviors, attack patterns, \u2028and custom animations<\/li>
