This isn't all Amazon publishes ( Blue Protocol is on the way, Crucible was scrapped, it picked up Tomb Raider recently too), but it’s definitely a trend. So when I sat down with Daniel Lafuente and Merv Lee Kwai from Amazon to discuss Throne & Liberty, this trend was on my mind.

Players explore a variety of different fantasy environments, fighting a variety of different monsters with a variety of different class-specific abilities. There’s an extensive main quest, side activities like crafting and fishing, multiplayer dungeons, competitive player-versus-player matches, and everything else you’ve come to expect from the genre.

"Massive scale, everything about it, the world, the buildings, everything. And the tech being built is going to allow things like the castle sieges that have thousands of players participating in a castle siege. That's not an exaggeration, that's already something that has been seen in the Korean life service is thousands of players participating in this castle siege. That's probably the biggest event that we have. And then there'll be other things that have hundreds of players, going down even to guild vs guild battles, which will be more along the 50 v 50, 60. v 60 type of range. Scale is a big part of what we expect in Throne & Liberty, particularly when it comes to PvP battl<br><br><br>"Running games at this size and scale is very difficult, mostly because of the games as a service and the operational components" Lafuente says.

But the live service game has seemingly matured over the past few months. The developer is clearly listening to its community - player numbers have almost doubled in South Korea since the game’s lukewarm reception way back in December 2023. Almost a year later and it’s seen many new additions that will arrive in the form of a launch update, including a streamlined leveling process, new lifestyle paths (fishing and cooking, yes please), as well as a new 3v3 Arena among other chan<br><br> <br>These will naturally be a pressing question for anyone who might want to try out Throne and Liberty. ‘Pay-to-win’ is a term often thrown about by players, and it’s probably a term used frequently in Amazon’s head offices, too. Pay-to-win is a spectrum . You could place Diablo Immortal very high on the pay-to-win scale, whereas a game like League of Legends has plenty of microtransactions but no pay-to-win elements at all. Throne and Liberty definitely falls on the much lighter side of things. Most purchasable items are cosme

Both New World and Lost Ark had huge launches with over a million players on day one. New World is of course getting revamped later this year with New World: Aeternum tied into a console release, but its performance on PC has been lacklustre for months. Current player numbers have it hovering around the 5,000 mark. Lost Ark is much healthier, with around 20,000 active players.

It’s still not as flashy as I’d like, and sometimes you get locked into animations that feel clunky. Compared to the version I played earlier this year, however, you can tell how much work has gone into making the combat more action-packed and giving the player more agency over their abilities.

Occasionally, in battle, a pair of concentric purple circles appear around an enemy in what's called a Fury Attack. The larger one begins to close on the smaller one, and as long as the player presses the correct button by the time they align, they’ll enter a defensive posture for a few seconds. In this posture, they’ll deflect any attacks that come their way.

"There are certain expectations around classes based on that legacy. It's important to strike a delicate balance. But when you're fighting one v one, or one v six, or 50 versus 50, or 200 versus 200, the abilities are used in many different ways and the strategies of combat change drastically.

If you’re a hardcore player, you could generate enough Lucent to keep buying things from the Auction House whenever you want - no wallet requi
