Amazon Games Expands Its Lineup with the Long-Delayed Throne and Liberty and Plans to Publish Games in the West and Japan
A recent press release says that NCSoft’s highly anticipated fantasy MMORPG, Throne and Liberty, is going to be the company’s first major MMO to be released globally with a publisher outside the company. The game is expected to have an interesting story, a lot of ways to change your character, and a strong multiplayer system. Moonyoung Choi, NCSoft’s chief development management officer, said that one of the reasons Amazon Games was chosen as the publishing partner for Throne and Liberty was that Amazon has become one of the “most reliable partners for publishing massive live-service games globally.”
Amazon Games Vice President, Christoph Hartmann, stated that publishing games that “live and grow over time” is a critical part of the company’s strategy and that they are committed to delivering high-quality games from the world’s most talented developers.
Hartmann went on to say that Amazon Games has learned a lot in the last year about publishing and managing successful live-service games on a global level, and they are fully prepared to provide Throne and Liberty players with an incredible experience when they launch.
Amazon Games has found a way to make money by bringing Eastern MMOs to the West. Lost Ark, which came out in February 2022, is a good example of this.
When Throne and Liberty comes out, Amazon will be the publisher. This is a big step forward for the company, which at first had trouble making games and getting them published. Even though MMOs have become less popular in recent years, Amazon Games seems to have found a way to bring them back to life.
Amazon Games is also getting ready to release a number of new games, such as the next game in the popular Tomb Raider series and the long-awaited Blue Protocol. These games, along with Throne and Liberty, which were already announced, show how serious the company is about becoming a major player in the gaming world.
The company has not revealed the exact release date of Throne and Liberty, which was previously rumored to be released in the first half of 2023, but they have assured fans that the game is still on schedule.
