NCsoft’s Throne and Liberty may finally be arriving at the end of a very (very) long road of development and testing: the studio is rounding up players for a final test of the action MMORPG.

This test is scheduled to run in Korea on February 21st and 22nd to “verify the game quality,” allowing gamers to check out the highly anticipated title during those two days.

Late last year, the studio announced that it would be releasing Throne and Liberty on PC and console in the first half of 2023.

Throne and Liberty Beta Test Release Date


Throne & Liberty Internal Closed Beta Test

It has been a little while since we’ve heard anything about Throne & Liberty, but NCSoft is showing off a new video from the company’s internal beta test. They’ve also rolled out a new story map taking us into some new details of the game’s setting, characters, and lore.

What is shown in the video includes some of Throne & Liberty’s key features. We get some glimpses of character creation, exploration, and some huge, large-scale encounters in the form of huge world bosses and the expansive PvP castle sieges with lots of players on screen competing to bring their side to victory.

[NCing] THRONE AND LIBERTY - Internal Beta Test Highlights

The number of players engaged simultaneously does show what they’re going for in the development of this new MMO. In fact, over 3,000 employees at NCSoft took part in the internal test, making sure that there were enough players for these huge encounters.

You can see from the video how it’s possible to use the environment and the terrain in combat. Creating this sort of dynamic environment is another sign that NCSoft is clearly going big after pivoting the game from a Lineage followup.

There is also a new “ Play Novel ” style map to interact with. If you pan the map around and click on the various elements, you’ll get introductions to characters, monsters, boss encounter details, and mini-episodic stories of things like facing sandworms and making discoveries, to history, and much more. If you’re looking to take a deep dive on the details, settings, goals, lore, and items driving those in the setting of this game, here’s where to start.
