About THRONE AND LIBERTY

Throne and Liberty was originally part of the popular Lineage series and was initially announced as Lineage Eternal in 2011. However, the game underwent several delays and changes throughout its development process.

After a closed beta in South Korea in 2016, the game was renamed Project TL in 2017, before finally being branded Throne and Liberty in 2022.

The game officially launched on October 1, 2024, across multiple regions, including North and South America, Europe, Oceania, and Japan.

It is available on PC through Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X. Throne and Liberty has received positive reviews from critics, earning a score of 75/100 on the review aggregator Metacritic.

Despite its success, Throne and Liberty has faced challenges, particularly with bot accounts. The game’s developers are actively addressing the issue by banning accounts suspected of using bots and promising ongoing efforts to maintain a fair player experience.
