Throne and Liberty

Setting: Fantasy | developer: NCSoft | platform: PC, PlayStation, Xbox | release date: Q3/4 2022 | model: Unknown

What kind of game is this? TL was originally announced as Lineage 3 or Lineage Eternal. However, it was redesigned from the ground up in 2017 to become a “true next-gen MMORPG.”

However, there are not many details yet:

• The game world should be completely open.
• The story of the game is in focus.
• You play in third person and not in iso perspective as originally planned.
• There should be a variety of ways to get around, including climbing hooks and the transformation into a flying or aquatic animal.
• The environment should play an important role. Much depends on day, night or the weather.
• In the game you will encounter huge world bosses again and again.
• Castle sieges play an important role.

However, information about the classes and the general PvE and PvP content is currently missing. There is now a trailer with the first gameplay that looks really good. We have included it for you here:

Who is it interesting for? Throne and Liberty is aimed at MMORPG fans who are waiting for a new action game from Korea that also has a really big budget. PvP seems to play an important role, although it’s unclear if you’ll be forced into it.

However, NCSoft has to deliver with Throne and Liberty, since a lot of money has already flowed into the development. A small niche MMORPG with autoplay would not be enough.

How likely is the 2023 release? 75% In between it was said that Throne and Liberty should even come in 2021. At that time the game had no name and no trailer.

Then the MMORPG should definitely appear in 2022, but only the first tests took place there. The release seems likely in 2023, even if a postponement is still possible.

broken

Setting: Fantasy | developer: Dynamight Studios | platform: PC | release date: 2022 | model: Buy2Play

What kind of game is this? Fractured is a sandbox game that is essentially similar to Ultima Online. You experience the MMORPG in the iso perspective and should basically be able to play however you want. For this purpose, Fractured relies on a very special concept.

There are 3 playable races, each corresponding to your player type:

• If you play a beastman, you live on a planet with only PvE content.
• If you choose a human, you get a planet with restricted PvP and a karma system for griefers.
• When you play a demon, you enter a world that is all about PvP. The focus here is on constant action and full loot.
• Each planet has its own biomes, assets, and customized geography. It will be possible to switch between the worlds, but this is subject to severe limitations.

Fractured also dispenses with fixed classes and instead offers you a talent tree. There you can distribute the points you have earned according to your wishes and to suit your playing style. The MMORPG also wants to reduce the grind aspect by constantly inviting you to explore and kill new monsters via a knowledge system in order to level up your skills instead of always experiencing the same activities.

In the endgame, the focus is on the cities, which can be controlled by different guilds and conquered in PvP. There will be 30 large and over 90 small cities that players will fight over.

Who is it interesting for? Fractured is aimed at sandbox fans who enjoy grinding but don’t want to experience the same activities over and over again. The special concept of the three worlds should appeal to PvE and PvP fans. However, many still doubt that there will be enough content at the start.

How likely is the 2023 release? 99% The developers have already released Fractured in Early Access on Steam, but the final version should take some time. Everything points to a safe release in the first half of 2023.
