NCSOFT, a global premier game developer and publisher, today announced a global publishing agreement with Amazon Games for the company’s next-generation massively multiplayer online role-playing game, THRONE AND LIBERTY.

With this agreement, Amazon Games has secured global publishing rights to bring THRONE AND LIBERTY to North America, South America, Europe, and Japan. NCSOFT will be in charge of publishing the game in other Asia territories, including Korea and Taiwan.

“Amazon Games is one of the most reliable partners for publishing massive live-service games globally, with proven expertise in operations, localization, marketing, and community support,” said Moonyoung Choi, principal development management officer at NCSOFT. “For our next-gen flagship title, we’re confident they are the right publisher to bring THRONE AND LIBERTY ’s inimitable value and its dynamic, immersive MMO experience to players around the world.”

“NCSOFT has created some of the most popular and longest-running online games in the world, so it’s no surprise that THRONE AND LIBERTY is among today’s most anticipated MMOs,” Christoph Hartmann, vice president of Amazon Games. “Publishing games that live and grow over time remains a critical piece of our strategy, and delivering games of the highest quality from the world’s most talented developers is one of the cornerstones of our business. The last year has taught us a great deal about publishing and managing a successful live-service game on a global scale, and we’re ready to bring THRONE AND LIBERTY players an incredible experience at launch.”

THRONE AND LIBERTY is the next-generation AAA MMORPG title, developed under the slogan of ‘Play For All’. The highly anticipated title will present a seamless living world and dungeon features that change depending on the weather condition and surrounding environments. It has an immersive narrative where the past, present, and future are connected. The game also offers ‘Free Class’ systems, where player roles are decided by their own choices, and a player vs. player combat system that allows players to decide whether they want to engage or not.
