In this interview, the development teams discuss massive-scale PvP, a living world to explore, magical shapeshifting and other surprises that await players in Solisium when THRONE AND LIBERTY launches on September 17. “From day one, we’ve been working tightly with NCSOFT to make sure THRONE AND LIBERTY hits the mark for a global audience. We’ve been in the trenches together, running multiple public test phases to get direct feedback from players worldwide. That input has allowed us to really shape the game’s direction in unison with NCSOFT over the last year-plus. At the end of the day, it’s been a truly collaborative effort adapting the core experience, while still keeping the soul of what makes THRONE AND LIBERTY awesome.” - Daniel Lafuente, Globalization Design Manager at Amazon Games.
