“NCSOFT has created some of the world's most popular and longest-running online games, which is why THRONE AND LIBERTY is among the most anticipated MMOs today,” said Christoph Hartmann, Vice President of Amazon Games.
Publishing games that live and grow over time remains a critical part of our strategy, and delivering the highest quality games from the world's most talented developers is a cornerstone of our business. "The past year has taught us a lot about publishing and managing a successful live service game on a global scale, and we're committed to delivering THRONE AND LIBERTY players with an incredible experience at launch."
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 ever-changing geographical and environmental features that change the course of the game. Large-scale player versus player and player versus environment conflicts form the basis of THRONE AND LIBERTY. Players can transform into animals to soar through the air or explore the depths of the sea, and can even turn the battle odds in their favor by triggering powerful environmental effects like a solar eclipse or rainstorm.
NCSOFT has a long history of developing and publishing globally beloved multiplayer series such as Lineage, AION, Blade & Soul and Guild Wars. THRONE AND LIBERTY is the South Korea-based developer's latest next-gen MMO and the first MMO to be released in multiple regions in collaboration with an external publisher.
“Amazon Games is one of the most trusted partners for publishing massive live-service games globally, with proven expertise in operations, localization, marketing and community support,” said Moonyoung Choi, chief development management officer at NCSOFT. “
"We are confident they are the right publisher for our next-generation flagship game to bring THRONE AND LIBERTY's unmatched value and dynamic, immersive MMO experience to players around the world."
THRONE AND LIBERTY continues the momentum in game publishing following the success of Amazon Games' homegrown MMO New World and action RPG Lost Ark from Smilegate RPG; both topped the Steam and Twitch charts and continue to nurture strong gamer communities. Amazon also announced publishing deals with Bandai Namco Online, Blue Protocol, Crystal Dynamics' next big Tomb Raider game, and Glowmade and Disruptive Games for unannounced games.
