Sixteen employees competed for the top prize in a single-elimination tournament that consisted of a total of 29 races.

In this interview, the development teams discuss massive-scale PvP, a living world to explore, magical shapeshifting and other surprises that await players in Solisium when THRONE AND LIBERTY launches on September 17. “From day one, we’ve been working tightly with NCSOFT to make sure THRONE AND LIBERTY hits the mark for a global audience.

At the end of the day, it’s been a truly collaborative effort adapting the core experience, while still keeping the soul of what makes THRONE AND LIBERTY awesome.” - Daniel Lafuente, Globalization Design Manager at Amazon Games.
