We were able to get an official statement from Amazon Games concerning the bot activity in the hit game New World.

Statement:

We’re aware of player reports about increased bot activity in New World. Bots pose a persistent challenge for MMOs, and our team has deployed dedicated resources and tooling to identify and combat them. We are committed to continuous improvement in our fight against bots, and yesterday alone, we banned over 7,700 accounts for using bots. Our goal is to ensure New World is fun and fair for all players. We’ll post updates to the New World forums and Twitter as we have them.

We are fans of the game but the bot activity has been harder for us to continue to play in a fun manner. We are excited to see Amazon Games taking a stance and helping out removing these bots!

Let us know what you think in comments concerning the Bot Activity!
