Throne and Liberty

After roughly two years publishing Throne and Liberty for Western players, Amazon Game Studios is stepping back. Beginning in Q4 2026, live operations in the West will transfer to FirstSpark Games and its parent company NC — the developers behind the game.

What changed

  • Amazon Game Studios will exit the Western publishing role in Q4 2026
  • Live operations transfer to FirstSpark Games / NC
  • Amazon states it is working with NC to support a smooth transition
  • Players are directed to an official site for further transition details

The announcement frames the handover as a deliberate and positive move: returning operational control to the studio that built the game, on the theory that developer-led live service produces better outcomes for the community. Amazon's language is cordial and retrospective, crediting player feedback with shaping the game during its tenure.

What the notice does not specify is how accounts, billing, or in-game purchases will be handled after the transfer — those details, per the announcement, live on an external site not reproduced here.

For players with ongoing commitments in Solisium, the practical question is continuity. The stated intent is to minimize disruption, but the specifics of that promise remain unpublished in this source.
