Perfect New World

Perfect New World was an in-development, free-to-play action MMORPG from Ironcore Game Studio, published by Perfect World Games as a spin-off of (not a sequel to) the original Perfect World series. Players would have explored a seamless open world as a "Soul Tamer," capturing Spirit Beasts, running dungeons, and fighting in PvP battlegrounds across three races and multiple classes. The game ran closed beta tests through 2023, but by late 2024 its own Steam community had concluded development had been discontinued, with no public release ever reached.

Why you might like it

  • An action MMORPG project that reached multiple closed beta tests before development was discontinued
  • Its planned seamless open world and Spirit Beast-taming system were distinctive even among Perfect World-published titles
  • Being preserved in this catalog keeps a record of the project even though it never reached a public release
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Cancelled; ran closed beta tests through 2023 but development was reported discontinued in late 2024 with no public release
  • Sourced from Massively Overpowered, the Steam store page, and Steam community discussion; treat details as a research summary rather than a live, first-hand playtest.
  • The game never reached a public release, so there is nothing to play — this entry exists purely as a historical record.
