Throne and Liberty<\/a>, the free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by NCSoft and published by Amazon Games, has seen more than three million players in just a week.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Originally billed as a Lineage sequel, Throne and Liberty is an MMO with PvE and PvP set in a dynamic and seamless world. It suffered numerous delays over the course of a development cycle spanning several years.<\/p>\n

Throne and Liberty finally launched on October 1 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, and soon proved a hit on Steam with an impressive player concurrent peak of 336,300. That\u2019s enough to make Throne and Liberty one of the most-played games on Valve\u2019s platform right now. Neither Sony nor Microsoft make player numbers public.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Amazon added that Throne and Liberty players had amassed 24 million hours in the game, with more than 11 million hours watched on Twitch.<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing Throne and Liberty to players around the world has been a huge shared undertaking by our team and our friends at NCSoft, and we\u2019re so pleased to see the results as players join the game,\u201d said Christoph Hartmann, VP, Amazon Games.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re only getting started, and we have a series of updates planned including our first castle siege coming soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Throne and Liberty\u2019s early performance is all the more impressive in light of its \u2018mixed\u2019 user review rating on Steam, with most of the negative reviews about server issues and the typical monetization you get from these sorts of F2P MMOs. IGN\u2019s impressions of Throne and Liberty during its beta<\/u><\/a> said the game \u201cis fun but doesn\u2019t do enough to stand out.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Amazon Games, Throne and Liberty\u2019s success comes as it continues to support its own developed MMO, New World<\/a>, and Smilegate\u2019s action role-playing game Lost Ark<\/a>, which it published in 2022. Amazon is also publishing Crystal Dynamics\u2019 next Tomb Raider game<\/a>, and has a The Lord of the Rings MMORPG<\/a> in the works, among other projects.<\/p>\n

In August, Hartmann told IGN<\/a> the Lord of the rings MMO was “still early,” and the next Tomb Raider a “huge, huge task.”<\/p>\n
