Amazon has announced that itโll be adding exclusive items to Amazon Gamesโ popular MMORPG New World from Amazon Prime Videoโs The Wheel of Time TV series, which fans can obtain by watching special streams on Amazonโs Twitch streaming service, in a breathtaking example of cross-company synergy for Amazonโs various properties and titles.
The eligible โdrops enabledโ streams will kick off on December 24th at 12AM ET and will include watch-along parties for The Wheel of Timesโs first season finale hosted on Twitch. The Wheel of Time promotion is set to run through January 12th at 3AM ET and will require that fans watch a total of seven cumulative hours of eligible streams (or nearly as long as it would take to actually watch the eight-episode first season of the show) to earn all the various digital goodies in the drop.
In exchange, Amazon is doling out a variety of in-game items for New World pulled from the Wheel of Time show, including Tamโs heron-marked blade, a barbed sword wielded by the villainous Trollocs, cloaks worn by the Red Ajah and Children of the Light organizations, and the outfits for Egwene and Nynaeve. Players will also be able to earn a crest with the Wheel of Timeโs ouroboros logo on it to use for their in-game company, too.
