In development on PC but also PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, this massively multiplayer RPG will therefore benefit from the significant resources of Amazon Games, particularly in terms of marketing and localization. It must be said that in the absence of having established itself as a creative giant for the moment, Amazon Games intends to carve out a place of choice in the publishing world. The Western success of Lost Ark has undoubtedly changed many things internally, so much so that Amazon Games has been chaining publishing contracts ever since, whether in the field of online gaming (Bandai Namco’s Blue Protocol) or traditional game (the next Tomb Raider from Crystal Dynamics).
Amazon Games, new godfather of MMOs
By approaching the Korean NCSoft (Guild Wars, Lineage, Blade & Soul), Amazon Games confirms its strong penchant for long-term online games. “Publishing games that live and evolve over time is one of the foundations of our strategy. Offering high-quality games developed by renowned teams to players around the world is just as important. We learned a lot from the work done on the first Western year of Lost Ark, and we are ready to make the launch of Throne and Liberty an unforgettable experience for all players.“, comments Christoph Hartmann, vice president of Amazon Games.
No release date yet, Throne and Liberty presents itself as a massively multiplayer online role-playing game taking place in a fantasy world swept by geographical and ecological transformations with the ability to regularly change game mechanics, we are told. Faced with both their peers and the environment, players can even transform into animals to explore the skies or the depths. Note that Amazon Games has also signed with Glowmade and Disruptive Games studios for projects that have not yet been revealed.
