With the experience of seasoned MMO developer NCSoft (<em>Lineage II, Aion<\/em>) at the helm, along with Amazon Games, the teams are looking to make their mark by bringing this massive online experience to console, with the goal of leaving no player behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving a game that is welcoming to new and veteran MMO players has been at the forefront of our design choices \u2014 we understand this genre is still (relatively) new in the console space and providing a smooth first-time user experience will be critical to attracting new players,\u201d says Globalization Design Manager at Amazon Games, Daniel Lafuente.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>\n.post-template-default .xwsrc-block-content-block .wp-block-column.flex-basis-50.push--25.column--content {\n\tflex: 100%;\n\tmargin-left: 0;\n}\n<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Combat_v01_E-c075e00521b4c1d5021d.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Combat_v01_E-c075e00521b4c1d5021d.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Combat_v01_E-c075e00521b4c1d5021d-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Combat_v01_E-c075e00521b4c1d5021d-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Combat_v01_E-c075e00521b4c1d5021d-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<section class=\"xwsrc-block-content-block\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column flex-basis-50 push--25 column--content\">\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<p>A few weeks ago, during Sumer Game Fest: Play Days, we had a chance to go hands-on with the current build of the game to experience this ourselves. Our session saw us jump into a 6-player co-op experience through the Roaring Temple, which gave us a taste of how a balanced party can work together to swiftly move through a dungeon, culling enemies left and right, leading up to its central boss: the massive, Chimera-like King Chimaerus.<\/p>\n<p>To help with refining that onboarding experience \u2014 the game soft-launched in Korea seven months ago \u2013 the team has been constantly examining data to learn what their most devoted players are seeking when they dive into <em>Throne and Liberty<\/em> for the first time. This has helped balance the game\u2019s unique take on the traditional class system.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of being intrinsically tied to your character, progression is more equipment based, falling into four major categories: Gear Level, Traits, Skills, and Weapon Mastery, each of which grants you progress towards your overall Combat Score. This is where the game\u2019s dual weapon system comes in, where each weapon you have equipped will give you access to a different set of abilities, letting you mix and match, giving you upwards of 20 unique combinations to play with.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>\n.post-template-default .xwsrc-block-content-block .wp-block-column.flex-basis-50.push--25.column--content {\n\tflex: 100%;\n\tmargin-left: 0;\n}\n<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Combat_v01_C-ba5e0d1ffcdef04cc2a6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Combat_v01_C-ba5e0d1ffcdef04cc2a6.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Combat_v01_C-ba5e0d1ffcdef04cc2a6-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Combat_v01_C-ba5e0d1ffcdef04cc2a6-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Combat_v01_C-ba5e0d1ffcdef04cc2a6-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<section class=\"xwsrc-block-content-block\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column flex-basis-50 push--25 column--content\">\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<p>\u201cOne of my favorite things about the dual weapon system, is that you can still play your classic archetypes but with some accents or flair of another archetype mixed in,\u201d explains Lafuente. \u201cThe Trait system is one of several different ways that players can alter their build and playstyle, allowing them to equip different stats onto their gear which can have a big impact on their character\u2019s overall style of play. The ability to learn how to maximize the benefit from Traits will be a key aspect to every player\u2019s progression within <em>Throne and Liberty<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another of the impressive elements we saw on display during our hands-on time was the incredibly rich and detailed character creator. You\u2019ll be able to choose from many amazing looking presets or customize your character through a deep set of configurations \u2014 or even upload a picture of yourself which will transform your character to look like you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of our core beliefs is that player self-expression is paramount,\u201d explains Lafuente. \u201cWe want every player to have as many tools as possible to express the fantasy they want to play with their character; the character customization features in <em>Throne and Liberty<\/em> are top tier in that aspect.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>\n.post-template-default .xwsrc-block-content-block .wp-block-column.flex-basis-50.push--25.column--content {\n\tflex: 100%;\n\tmargin-left: 0;\n}\n<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Cinematics_C_v01-c22740c20f21aa053c15.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Cinematics_C_v01-c22740c20f21aa053c15.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Cinematics_C_v01-c22740c20f21aa053c15-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Cinematics_C_v01-c22740c20f21aa053c15-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Cinematics_C_v01-c22740c20f21aa053c15-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<section class=\"xwsrc-block-content-block\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column flex-basis-50 push--25 column--content\">\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<p>Another unique element for <em>Throne and Liberty<\/em> will be its dynamic weather system with changing states that can affect gameplay in different ways.

The world itself is vast and filled with verticality, which adds another element of strategy within the massive scale combat players can expect,\u201d Lafuente elaborates.<\/p>\n<p>From this experience, I also got to play around with <em>Throne and <\/em>Liberty\u2019s unique morph system, which allows players to turn into mounts, elemental creatures that can travel across water, air, and land. With just a toggle on the controller, I would shift into my \u201cmount\u201d as a bird to help me fly down from a high ledge and avoid fall damage, or into a tiger to help me sprint through the dungeon and catch up with my crew, or an otter to help me glide through the water.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>\n.post-template-default .xwsrc-block-content-block .wp-block-column.flex-basis-50.push--25.column--content {\n\tflex: 100%;\n\tmargin-left: 0;\n}\n<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Morphs_v01_B-9ed07d276080903f001c.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Morphs_v01_B-9ed07d276080903f001c.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Morphs_v01_B-9ed07d276080903f001c-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Morphs_v01_B-9ed07d276080903f001c-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Morphs_v01_B-9ed07d276080903f001c-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<section class=\"xwsrc-block-content-block\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column flex-basis-50 push--25 column--content\">\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<p>These unique morph abilities tap into the lore of <em>Throne and Liberty<\/em>, which takes place in the fantasy world of Solisium, a land where fragments of the Sealstone that held the Goddess of Destruction, Sylaveth, have scattered across the world. These fragments have created a great deal of conflict not only because of their value, but their ability to develop powers in those who can collect them. This is where you and your friends come in; working to get your hands on these unique resources, embarking on a grand adventure across the land of Solisium, battling unique monsters, and taking on other rival players across this massive, free-to-play online world.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned earlier, trying to bring this massive experience into a controller is a monumental task. I did stumble a bit initially on getting my head around the wealth of options available to me at my fingertips. But as my session continued, I found it fluid and natural. And although I only played for just under an hour, I could see myself getting used to this configuration if given more time with it. This is an area that NCSoft remains committed to, iterating on what is typically a heavy keyboard and mouse experience for a controller-friendly game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve made several alterations to how the controller handles \u2013 button mappings, targeting, and movement are the three most critical elements we\u2019ve been continuously iterating on over the past 12 months to really nail what\u2019s needed for this type of combat,\u201d Lafuente explains. \u201cWe\u2019re very proud of the progress we\u2019ve made, and our latest tests have shown that players are saying the gameplay feels natural. I\u2019ve even found myself wondering if I should make the switch to playing <em>Throne and Liberty<\/em> from the couch on a controller from now on.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>\n.post-template-default .xwsrc-block-content-block .wp-block-column.flex-basis-50.push--25.column--content {\n\tflex: 100%;\n\tmargin-left: 0;\n}\n<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Combat_v01_F-5beae42ecd589ec7075c.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Combat_v01_F-5beae42ecd589ec7075c.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Combat_v01_F-5beae42ecd589ec7075c-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Combat_v01_F-5beae42ecd589ec7075c-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/TL_Summer_Game_Fest_Press_Screenshots_Combat_v01_F-5beae42ecd589ec7075c-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<section class=\"xwsrc-block-content-block\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column flex-basis-50 push--25 column--content\">\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<p>With NCSoft\u2019s pedigree at the helm, and a wealth of unique ideas to bring to the genre space, <em>Throne and Liberty <\/em>is in a fantastic position to showcase how to bring a proper MMORPG to the console space.
