Throne and Liberty is an open-world MMORPG with one seamless, explorable zone. The game also has a dynamic weather system that will impact gameplay and the visuals of the world. There is a story in the game, but it has been described by the team as a “background saga” rather than something that sits at the forefront of your experience – it is an MMO, after all, and designed to help players create their own stories.
It’s a MMORPG (not isometric view) set in a fantasy world, for PC and Consoles. It’s not set in The Lineage universe, the game set in a new world with new characters, continents and rules.
Throne and Liberty is planned to be released in the first half of 2023, although we have no set release date yet. We expect there to be some sort of closed beta/preview period for the game to go through playtesting and bug-fixing. We’ll update this part of the guide when we got more information.
TL has a class-less combat system, which means players can adapt their style by picking up different weapons without feeling tied-down to a certain set of skills and abilities. PVP is not forced, but can instead be opted into by entering certain zones during PVP events. There is a PVP ranking system. Guilds can also compete over areas of the map and earn rewards for controlling certain zones.
Although nothing has been confirmed directly, we do expect there to be some microtransactions in the game based on NCSoft’s previous games. The studio has some renown for including pay-to-win microtransactions, although many players are hoping this will not be the case in Throne And Liberty.
Yes, the game will release simultaneously on PC and Consoles, including PlayStation and Xbox.
In February, localization into 12 languages was announced. In addition to Korean and English, Japanese (jp), Chinese (中文 – 繁體) and Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt) are indirectly confirmed.
It was announced that the game will be released simultaneously on PC and Consoles, versions for Windows, Mac, PlayStation, Xbox and Steam are being prepared for release, there is no information about support for previous generation consoles. There will be no cross-play. The game has been confirmed for release through Purple.
We play as humans, but in the universe there are elves and orcs. Your class depends on your choice: you can choose 2 weapons and upgrade them, you can change your choice at any time. There is no classic “holy trinity” in the game, the player creates a class for himself.
It looks likely that the game will feature both PvP and PvE content.
Yes, 12 localised languages have currently been confirmed, including English.
There is no exact information, but it is supposed to be developed in Unreal Engine 4. There are no system requirements yet.
It was announced to be released in North America and Asia. Published by local NCSoft offices (NCSoft West, NCSoft Taiwan, etc.), but some partners may be involved. No plans have been announced for a full transfer of publishing rights in any region/country.

No information at the moment. Currently, no NCSoft game supports these technologies, although it was previously reported that these technologies were being studied for implementation in new projects.
No public beta has been announced but it is thought that the game is likely undergoing some testing under NDA.
The business model for Throne And Liberty Is currently unknown.
Project E is being developed in the same universe as TL, but the game will take place on a neighboring continent. The game has been in the design stage for about a year and is now moving into the active development phase. Some of the ideas and developments not included in TL will go into Project E, events will cross over within the same universe. There is a theory that Project E will not be an mmorpg, but a game of a similar genre (game-service, battle royale), but this is a rumor.
Considering that active development is just beginning, Project E will probably be released in 2 or 3 years. Created in Unreal Engine 5.
There is no class system in Throne And Liberty instead the player simply picks 2 weapons and uses the corresponding abilities.
Server architecture, regional and online restrictions are still in question, there is no exact information. The game trailer shows groups of 100 to 150 players in a small venue.
Previous games were launched on Amazon Corporation servers.
Guild system has been announced, but no details. The presence of RvR is unlikely.
It is not known if there will be CBT, NCSoft’s latest projects have only passed internal testing and NDA testing. In February, NCSoft announced that it revised its community policy and will talk more about its plans. In late April, information surfaced that there might be player testing, but with no details or guarantees.
It is expected that the game will release in most countries but NCSoft has not provided specific details yet.
