NCSoft recently had an investor Q&A and unfortunately we had official confirmation that Throne & Liberty (TL) has been delayed until the first half of 2023.
This is because NCSoft are currently in discussions with a potential western publisher for the game, this publisher is heavily rumoured to be Amazon Games Studios (creators of New World and publishers of Smile Gate’s Lost Ark).
This likely means that TL will launch simultaneously worldwide in Q1 or Q2 next year.
The delay appears to be so that they can complete the talks with Amazon and make the corresponding requirements to facilitate the worldwide launch, as well as tailoring the business model to be more acceptable to western audiences.
The investor meeting also confirmed that TL has recently completed and internal 3000 person test of the game and that this will be extended to a global audience “soon” along with more information about the game.
