The company sells Lost Ark and Throne and Liberty to other publishers.
After announcing its intention to end its MMO New World: Aeternum in October 2025, Amazon announced that it would no longer publish MMOs Lost Ark And Throne and Liberty to the west, according to PC gamer. Although Amazon will not publish either game, they will continue to be available in Western markets. Publication responsibilities will now fall to NC, which will be the publisher for Throne and Liberty from the fourth quarter of 2026, and Smilegate, which will become the publisher of Lost Ark early 2027.
By a Throne and Liberty blog post announcing the change, major content like characters and in-game currency are expected to port over, although NC (through its subsidiary FireSpark Games) is still determining whether items like items in the game’s auction house will make the jump. In the case of Lost Arkplayers will lose access to things like in-game messaging and chat history, according to a blog on the game’s website.
The fact that both MMOs remain active for existing players is a much more positive outcome than Amazon’s. New World got. This game will officially be discontinued on January 31, 2027. The company confirmed that it has completed development of a separate Lord of the Rings MMO in May 2026. Lost Ark And Throne and Liberty are transferred, Amazon will officially be out of the MMO game, a sector it first entered in 2016 when New World was announced.
Apart from the biggest bets on intellectual property like 007 First Light (which Amazon joined after its acquisition of the James Bond franchise) and Tomb Raider Catalystthe company focuses on creating casual games for Luna. Amazon’s game streaming subscription is now primarily touted as one of the many perks of Amazon Prime and offers a number of board games that you can play with a smartphone.
