Something is happening at Throne and Liberty, but it seems that the release of the game is not yet here. Instead, an upcoming test could be on the horizon.
With this post, NC Soft announced the Closed Beta:
What is happening at Throne and Liberty? Recently, there has been quite a silence regarding the long-awaited MMORPG.
- The MMORPG was released on December 7, 2023, in South Korea for PC.
- It was originally supposed to be released in 2024 in Europe simultaneously for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. For PC, presumably via Steam.
- Fans were hoping: Since the MMORPG was already released in South Korea, a worldwide release could occur relatively early in 2024.
- However, this has neither been announced nor happened so far.
- Recently, players were able to participate in a closed technical test in October 2023.
- The reason for the many delays could be the console port, which seems to be causing issues.
However, something is happening on Steam again with Throne and Liberty. The game received several updates, and even the name of the MMORPG has been adjusted.

A new technical test could start soon
What is happening on Steam? Since March 12, many changes have been made to the game on Steam. Specifically, the name “Throne and Liberty – Technical Test” was added and changed on March 24 to “Throne and Liberty: Technical Test”.
Such a small change in the title could indicate that the developers are in the final stages, almost in the finishing touches, of a new test. Whether this will be public or only targeted at people who applied earlier is not known.
The game also received updates; for example, it is now about 9 gigabytes larger than during the last technical test. You can check out the changes on Steam.
When could the test start? When the test could start is still a mystery, and even in the literal sense. The game seems to have mistakenly uploaded the wrong icon, as seen on SteamDB. Although the icon was quickly changed again, you can still vaguely recognize the logo of Throne and Liberty, with some text underneath.
However, the logo is so small and illegible that one cannot tell what is actually written underneath. On Reddit, some people are already trying to make the logo readable through AI tools, but so far without success.
If the date of the technical test is indeed on the icon, we may never be able to read it.
