The one thing I'm really looking forward to about Throne and Liberty, the Korean MMO that Amazon is helping bring to the West (in a manner similar to its work with Lost Ark), is its Castle Sieges. Shown in the announcement of Amazon's partnership with the game, the Sieges pit "thousands" of players against each other in a battle that looks more like something out of Mount & Blade than an MMO.
Sadly, there wasn't really room for thousands of players to take part in the game at Summer Game Fest, where I recently went hands-on with Throne and Liberty in a guided PvE dungeon run. Forced to live vicariously through the developers, I spoke to franchise lead Merv Lee Kwai, who was very enthusiastic about the Sieges themselves, as well as the background technology that's gone into making them possible.
