Throne And Liberty: NCSoft’s Lineage MMO Has Found A Publisher

Throne and Liberty, the sequel to Lineage, will be published by a prolific company.

 

Throne and Liberty for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC is set to be published by Amazon Games in North America, South America, Europe, and Japan. NcSoft’s game will also have cross-platform support. Amazon describes the game, “Throne and Liberty is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game that combines story-driven adventure and action combat. In Throne and Liberty, players enter a vast world with constantly shifting geographical and environmental features that change the course of play. Massive-scale player vs. player and player vs. environment combat are fundamental to Throne and Liberty. Players can transform into animals to soar through the air or explore the depths of the sea and even tip the odds of battle by triggering powerful environmental effects, like solar eclipses or rainstorms. NCSoft has a long history of developing and publishing beloved multiplayer franchises across the globe, including Lineage, AION, Blade & Soul, and Guild Wars. Throne and Liberty is the latest next-gen MMO from the South Korea-based developer and the first to be released across multiple regions in collaboration with an external publisher.”

In a press release, Christoph Hartmann, Amazon Games’ vice president, wrote: “NCSoft has created some of the most popular and longest-running online games in the world, so it’s no surprise that Throne and Liberty is among today’s most anticipated MMOs. Publishing games that live and grow over time remains a critical piece of our strategy, and delivering games of the highest quality from the world’s most talented developers is one of the cornerstones of our business. The last year has taught us much about publishing and managing a successful live-service game on a global scale, and we’re ready to bring Throne and Liberty players an incredible experience at launch.”

Moonyoung Choi, principal development manager at NCSoft, added: “Amazon Games is one of the most reliable partners for publishing massive live-service games globally, with proven expertise in operations, localization, marketing, and community support. For our next-gen flagship title, we’re confident they are the right publisher to bring Throne and Liberty’s unique value and dynamic, immersive MMO experience to players worldwide.”

They just can’t spill the beans on when the game is coming! The project was first announced as Lineage Eternal in November 2011…
