What’s Throne and Liberty?

What about New World, Amazon’s different MMO?
It’s most likely protected to say that Amazon wants Throne and Liberty to be successful to make up for the disappointing post-launch efficiency of New World.
New World launched in 2021 with an all-time participant peak of over 900k gamers, however that declined quickly. Now averaging peaks of round 5,000 simultaneous gamers, followers really feel cheated by the shortage of bug fixes and post-launch assist, except for highly-priced DLCs.

New World was not free-to-play, so the monetization technique has allowed it to fall by the wayside after launch, however Throne and Liberty follows a unique technique, which is able to maybe drive Amazon Video games and NCSoft into higher post-launch assist.
