[Exclusive] NC-Amazon, ‘TL’ global service collaboration ‘powerful’

NC and Amazon promote global business collaboration for NC’s next film, ‘TL’. It is likely that Amazon Games, a subsidiary of Amazon’s game business, will be in charge of distributing ‘TL’ in North America and Europe. The interests of NC, which is seeking ways to target the relatively weak North American and European markets, and Amazon, which is trying to strengthen its game business, coincide, drawing attention to whether collaboration between the two companies will be successful.

On the 9th, a source familiar with the circumstances of NC and Amazon quoted a message from an insider from both companies, saying, “NC and Amazon are discussing a partnership for the global distribution business of ‘TL’.” However, the possibility of collaboration is high.”

‘TL’ is a multi-platform MMORPG that NCsoft has been developing since 2017. It started development in 2013 under the name of ‘Lineage Eternal’, but as development fell into difficulties, it is a newly launched project after replacing all the production director, base engine, and project naming.

PDMO Choi Moon-young, who is in charge of new development at NCsoft, and the development team under it are producing based on Unreal Engine 4, and this year, it was decided to release it as a separate new work that does not use Lineage IP (intellectual property rights).

Since around 2010, Amazon has been focusing on its content business, including games. It created the ‘Amazon App Store’ for Kindle, started developing and supplying casual games exclusively for that store, and established its subsidiary Amazon Games in 2011. Amazon Games has development studios in San Diego, Seattle, and Irvine to produce various games.

After acquiring Cryengine, it developed Lumberyard Engine linked with Amazon Cloud and is using it in its own game. I used the engine for ‘Star Citizen’ and ‘New World’.

Although the game business did not achieve great results, Amazon Games recently took charge of distributing Smilegate’s ‘Lost Ark’ in North America and Europe, and the game business is gaining momentum as its own development ‘New World’ is on the way to box office success. am.

Amazon Games recruited Park Soo-min, who served as vice president at Nexon America, and entrusted global distribution of ‘Lost Ark’. Park Soo-min, general manager, was in charge of the local service of ‘Maple Story’ while working at Nexon America. It is known that he transferred to En Mass Entertainment, Krafton’s North American subsidiary, and was also in charge of local services for ‘Terra’. Amazon Games was in charge of business model planning and marketing for the local service of ‘Lost Ark’.

‘TL’, like ‘Lost Ark’, plans to provide services in Western countries such as North America and Europe through Steam. Some say that the role that distributors can play in games serviced through Steam is limited.

Regarding this, NCsoft said, “It is difficult to confirm information about the game currently under development.”

TL’s service period was originally predicted to be in December of this year, but if a distribution contract with Amazon is concluded, the global service launch may be slightly delayed for collaboration between the two companies, or the Korean service may be prioritized and the North American and European service may be slightly delayed It is also evaluated that there is TL has been conducting a company-wide test inside NCsoft since the 8th.

Amazon Games Might Be The Perfect Publisher For NCSoft

Amazon Games has helped publish New World and Lost Ark in back-to-back years and they have been highly successful. Lost Ark continues to be among the top games on Steam and we might see the same level of success with Throne and Liberty.

According to Korea’s Money Today, Amazon Games will handle the publishing of the game outside Korea. This is promising because the publisher has been pretty good at marketing the games that it takes up and we have seen quite a few big projects in Amazon’s hands. 

Throne and Liberty is being developed alongside another title by NCSoft which might also be published by Amazon Games. There is another unnamed project that is being developed simultaneously and it is currently titled Project E. While Throne and Liberty will take place in Solisium, Project E will take place in Laisak which is part of the same world.
