Throne and Liberty is an MMORPG from NCSoft (Aion, Blade & Soul), which was released in South Korea in 2023 and will be launched worldwide by Amazon Games in October 2024. You can find all information about cross-progression, classes, gameplay, crossplay, and more in the overview article about Throne and Liberty.
What exactly is Throne and Liberty? The new MMORPG from NCSoft was originally planned as Lineage Eternal and was supposed to adopt an isometric perspective. Due to the enormous critical feedback from testers, a years-long overhaul followed from 2017 and eventually the renaming to Throne and Liberty.
- You create a character, but you can only choose from male or female humans. Your playstyle is determined by two weapons, which you can switch between in combat. Therefore, you don’t choose a fixed class during character creation.
- The combat system was initially rather static and reminiscent of Lineage 2. In the meantime, significant changes have been made, so it now offers a mix of tab-targeting and action combat systems.
- The entire game world operates almost without loading screens.
- There are various PvE contents such as world bosses, dungeons, dynamic events, and a story that plays a significant role, especially during leveling.
- The PvP system revolves mainly around capturing territories (outposts) and the battle for the large castle that takes place every two weeks. Additionally, there is PvP in some dungeons and at certain events in the open world. However, you are always warned when entering a PvP zone.
The core of the entire game is a dynamic weather system that is meant to influence skills, sieges, and enemies in the game world. For example, arrows are supposed to fly faster in the wind, and access points like sewers can be blocked by rain.
Publisher for the global release will be Amazon Games, which also manages Lost Ark, New World, and the upcoming MMORPG Blue Protocol.
