Amazon Games has revealed that the highly anticipated free-to-play MMO, Throne and Liberty, will launch in the Americas, Europe, and Japan on September 17, 2024. Developed by NCSoft, the game will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, featuring full cross-platform support.
Prior to its official release, Throne and Liberty will host an open beta from July 18 to July 23. This beta period will allow players to experience the game and provide valuable feedback. The game offers both player vs. player and player vs. environment combat, enabling players to join guilds and form alliances for greater success. Set in the open world of Solisium, the game includes dynamic weather conditions that can affect weapon effectiveness and reveal new pathways.
Players in Throne and Liberty can transform into various creatures, enhancing their ability to navigate the sea and air. They can even morph into defeated bosses to gain a strategic advantage in battles. The game promises large-scale combat scenarios, accommodating thousands of players simultaneously.
Originally conceived as a direct sequel to the original Lineage, Throne and Liberty has since evolved into a unique MMO experience. Amazon signed a deal with NCSoft in 2023 to publish the game in these regions, building on the success of another NCSoft-developed title, Lost Ark.
Despite recent challenges, including the shutdown of its free-to-play shooter Crucible and layoffs within its games division, Amazon Games remains dedicated to its gaming ventures. Other notable projects in development include a Lord of the Rings MMO and the next Tomb Raider game.
With Throne and Liberty, Amazon Games aims to solidify its presence in the gaming industry, offering players an innovative and immersive MMO experience.
