The Amazon MMORPG Throne and Liberty has lost over 90% of its players in a year. Nevertheless, the developers celebrate the anniversary and their success at the same time. They also talk about the bright future.
How is Throne and Liberty doing? On October 1, 2024, Throne and Liberty officially launched on Steam, attracting over 330,000 players simultaneously. Over the first weeks, players fought mainly in large PvP battles like the battle for the castle in the game and against world bosses.
Over the months, the MMORPG was expanded more and more, with about a dozen dungeons added, as well as the first raid “Altar of Calanthia” and the first expansion Wilderness of Talandre.
In the meantime, the MMORPG has lost over 90% of its players compared to its 330,000, but it is currently at a stable level, with daily peaks since the September update always above 20,000 players according to SteamDB.
Here you can watch the trailer for the expansion:
Bright future for Throne and Liberty
What have the developers revealed? In a new blog post on amazongames.com, the developers talked about the first year of Throne and Liberty and explained where the success comes from. They say that they always pay attention to the players in their updates and prioritize their wishes.
Housing and the improved battlefields only came about thanks to the feedback and wishes of the players.
Our guiding principle has always been that a game must bring joy and satisfaction to its players, and we have consistently taken the feedback from players into account in our development decisions.

At the same time, the developers also show self-criticism in the blog post and explain that not everything always goes as it should. There were many bugs that were only removed from the game in the September update. On the positive side, the developers look forward to the future of the MMORPG.
What will happen in the future? At the end of their blog post, the developers also reveal how things will continue in the future. Despite the significant loss of players, the future of the MMORPG looks bright. The developers want to continue to release updates and expansions as before.
2026 is expected to be filled with new content, including a new area expansion that will be presented soon. This is expected to be quite large and have its own climate. In addition, a variety of experiences will take place there.
Although the developers have not revealed anything more specific, it can be expected that in addition to the area expansion, a new addon for the MMORPG will also be on the way, which will bring a level expansion and new activities, just like Wilderness of Talandre.
After the blog post, it is clear: Amazon Games still believes in Throne and Liberty, and 2026 will be a good year for the MMORPG.
