Astrum Entertainment will be the publisher of MMORPG Throne and Liberty in Russia

The free MMORPG Throne and Liberty from FirstSpark Games (FSG) and NC will be released in Russia in 2026. The publisher will be Astrum Entertainment, which will also oversee the game and its community in the CIS and several other territories.

This project, made in the spirit of classic fantasy MMOs with a focus on guild PvP and castle sieges, has been known to players in South Korea and several other regions for two years, and its development team includes the creators of Lineage and Aion.

"Collaborating with NC is an opportunity to present a major and promising project from one of the most experienced MMORPG developers to the Russian audience. We are excited to work with a team that has set standards in the genre for many years and look forward to a long-term and productive partnership," commented Tony Watkins, CEO of Astrum Entertainment.

"Throne and Liberty is an MMORPG created with a focus on deep player interaction and large-scale epic battles. The game has already gained its community in the world, and partnering with Astrum Entertainment to launch the project in the Russian market is an important step for our development team. We eagerly anticipate the Russian community joining the world of Throne and Liberty, where players will find new adventures, forge strong alliances, and co-create a lasting gaming experience," commented Choi Moon-young, CEO of FSG.

At the core of Throne and Liberty is a flexible character development system built around weapon choice. By abandoning traditional classes, the developers have implemented an adaptive approach where the hero's role and available skills depend on the equipment. This allows for the free combination of different types of weaponry and customizing builds to fit one's play style and objectives in PvE and PvP content.

The game world operates on a dynamic event schedule, including the emergence of large-scale world bosses, featuring the majestic flying whale, as well as large raids on world bosses and major battles for territorial control. This sets a clear but rich rhythm and allows players to choose activities based on their goals and play format — either as part of a guild or solo.

Guild interaction is at the heart of key content: large-scale PvP battles, including castle sieges and territorial wars, require the participation of organized communities. Social coordination is an essential element for achieving success in these events.

Character progression is supported by an extensive gear enhancement system with variable properties. A unique feature of the game is changing weather conditions, such as rain or solar eclipses, which directly influence the course of battles and require tactical adaptation. To explore a seamless world without zone transitions, players can transform into animals to soar in the sky or traverse the surface of the water.

The release of Throne and Liberty in Russia, the CIS, and several other territories is scheduled for 2026 and will take place on platforms VK Play and Astrum Play.
