Throne and Liberty shifts Western operations to NC

Throne and Liberty Western live operations will transition from Amazon Game Studios to FirstSpark Games and NC starting in the fourth quarter of 2026. The companies say they are working together to minimize disruption during the handover.

Throne and Liberty: confirmed details

Amazon frames the change as returning operational responsibility to the developers after nearly two years of Western service. The announcement does not set one exact transfer day in the quarter or claim that every account process will remain invisible to players.

What changes for players

Placing development and live operations under the same group can shorten some decisions, but practical effects depend on support, publishing infrastructure and regional policies. Players should watch the dedicated transition information for any required account action.

Timing and wider context

The service remains active during the preparation period. Q4 covers a range of dates, so rumors about a specific cutoff should not be treated as confirmed without a later official notice.

The feature list and timing above reflect the developer’s announcement published on August 12, 2026. Future hotfixes can adjust balance or availability, so live values should be checked against the current client.

For Throne and Liberty, the practical checkpoint is the live client: confirm the installed version, platform notes and regional rollout before relying on a scheduled feature. Store availability, maintenance windows and certification can create timing differences even when the developer announces one date for the wider release.
