Big, new and very expensive action MMORPG is officially coming to the PS5 – release in 2022

The new South Korean action MMORPG Throne and Liberty will be released for the PlayStation 5. This is the result of an interview with the developers at NCSoft. A release is officially planned for 2022. Throne and Liberty has been in development for 12 years and is looking spectacular in early trailers.

What kind of game is this?

• Throne and Liberty is the continuation of the MMORPG series Lineage. In South Korea, Lineage is what we call “World of Warcraft” in the west: simply huge. It’s a set of games that everyone out there knows and almost everyone has played at some point.
• The MMORPG “Throne and Liberty” was announced in 2011 and has been revised again and again. It used to be called Linage Eternal, later Project TL. The development is said to have devoured more than 75 million euros. The game was a beacon of hope for NCSoft for years, but was repeatedly postponed. NCSoft’s communication has proven disastrous over the years.
• The “latest version” of the MMORPG is an action MMORPG; the focus is on boss fights with dozens of players and castle sieges. Because the development was so chaotic, relatively little is known about this “latest version” of the MMORPG.

The trailer drew a lot of attention:

The information is now new: It’s been known since 2018 that NCSoft plans to bring its new PC games to “console” as well. Throne and Liberty was also announced as a “console release”. So far, however, there have been no concrete statements as to which platforms the game would come on – in addition to the PC, which is the dominant platform in South Korea together with Mobile.

In a long interview with the Korean site Inven, NCSoft has now announced a change in strategy, wanting to communicate more openly and turn more to the West (via inventory).

Confirming that Throne and Liberty will be ported to the PlayStation 5, Inven has released an image showing Throne and Liberty running on a PlayStation 5.

At Inven it is said that during the interview the game could first be seen on the PS5.

When is the release? Throne and Liberty is scheduled for release in 2022. There is no precise information about the process yet.

More details are expected to be announced in the summer. The game should apparently also receive public tests. How the game will be distributed, whether as a paid title or as a free2play MMORPG, does not seem to be clear yet.

Throne and Liberty has been a beacon of hope for MMORPG fans for many years:
