The traditional dominance of industry giants like Blizzard Entertainment and Electronic Arts (EA) over the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) genre makes it essential to monitor new entrants. The latest challenger has made an impressive start, generating interest in its potential to disrupt the status quo.
Amazon Games and NCSoft launched their new free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) earlier this month, making it accessible to players on both PC and console platforms; as a result, the game has quickly drawn in a sizable and family-friendly player community. Amazon announces that its new game has drawn over 3 million players across all platforms in its inaugural week, with a staggering combined total of more than 24 million hours spent playing the game. The sport has garnered over 11 million hours of consideration on Twitch thus far.
“Amazon Games Vice President Christoph Hartmann praised the global gaming community, crediting the collaborative effort between his team and NCSoft for bringing Throne and Liberty to life: ‘It’s been an incredible journey, and we’re thrilled to see how players are embracing the game.'” “We’re just starting out, and a series of updates is planned, including our first fortress siege, which will arrive soon.”
While precise platform-specific figures remain elusive, SteamDB data suggests a remarkable surge in concurrent players, with a peak of more than 336,000 gamers simultaneously connected to Steam over the weekend.
