Så sent som i går blev det afsløret, at Throne & Liberty vil blive lanceret på PC, PS5 og Xbox Series X/S-konsoller den 17. september 2024. MMORPG'et udvikles af NCSOFT og udgives af Amazon Games, og ikke alene havde vi for nylig mulighed for at få endnu en smagsprøve på spillet på Summer Game Fest, men vi mødte også Amazon Games' franchise lead Merv Lee Kwai og globalisation design manager Daniel Lafuente for at få mere at vide om spillet.
Under interviewet, som du kan se i sin helhed nedenfor, spurgte vi om de sociale elementer i MMORPG'et, og hvordan de er blevet designet til at passe til både pc- og konsolspillere. Det fik vi at vide.
"Yeah, well, I think the first thing is there are no barriers between platforms," said Lafuente. So if you can be in a guild with somebody on PC, you can also be in a guild with them on Xbox or PS5. So there are no barriers driven by platform play as it relates to social experiences. If you want to join parties or guilds, servers, everything is going to be cross-platform. So you'll be able to experience whatever you want with your friends. The deepest part of the social structure is definitely the guilds that we have in the game. And they're deep for two reasons; One, there's a lot of great content that you can do with your guild that feels meaningful, it feels rewarding to complete that with a group of your guild, but also because being in a guild helps you with things like progression or rewards. There's shared structures there between people and it really incentivizes that group play. And it's built in from the start. You're encouraged early on in the levelling journey to join a guild. You're presented with challenges that ask you to party with other players as you tackle harder monsters. So we feel strongly that the social elements of T&L will shine when the game launches."</em>
