New Trailer for NCSoft’s Upcoming MMORPG, Throne and Liberty

A new trailer for NCSoft’s upcoming MMORPG Throne and Liberty has recently aired during the Summer Game Fest live stream. What’s interesting about this game is that NCSoft is publishing it in Korea and Amazon Games will publish it in the rest of the world.

The World of Throne and Liberty

Throne and Liberty promises to offer strategic PvP and PvE combat that dynamically evolves depending on “other players” as well as the time of day and weather. It hopes to provide players with a high-fantasy setting which, while typical of the MMORPG genre, appears appropriately grandiose in scale. With this new trailer, fans of the game can now get a better and deeper glimpse into that setting.

So far, much of the released content are high-budget cinematics, which show off grand vistas and large-scale battles. However, gameplay clips start showing up only around halfway through, and they depict moments of action-packed real-time combat, as well as scenes where the playable characters morph into various animals. In one clip, a wolf transforms into a bird, and the protagonist even flies with a whole flock of birds amidst some impressive-looking scenery in the next shot.

A Long Development History

Throne and Liberty has actually been through quite a lengthy and seemingly troubled development history. NCSoft first officially unveiled the game, which went under the name Lineage Eternal, back in 2011. Since then, numerous delays have taken place, and the game was revamped into something else entirely.

What’s Next for Throne and Liberty?

The end of the new Throne and Liberty trailer encourages players to sign up for the official technical test through the game’s website. Unfortunately, there’s no news yet about the specific date for the tech test or the official release of the game itself. But we’ll be sure to keep an eye on NCSoft and Amazon Games to bring you the latest updates and news. So stay tuned!
