Lineage 2M has a higher share of users aged 25-34, and Lineage W is gaining attention among gamers aged 18-24. Lineage M appeals to many players aged 35-44 who most likely enjoyed the original PC title.


This largely due to the fact that NCsoft brands Lineage W as a game for the global audience.Between Februand February 14, 2023, Lineage W had the largest share of overseas revenue among all three titles at 37.9%, followed by Lineage 2M (31.9%) and Lineage M (12.9%).So the revenue for all mobile games in the series, which also includes Lineage Red Knights and Lineage 2: Revolution, remains unknown. It is worth noting that Sensor Tower only shared data for these three titles.It is followed by Lineage 2M ($1.76 billion) and Lineage W (around $1 billion).According to Sensor Tower, Lineage M is the highest-grossing mobile title in the franchise with $4.23 billion in lifetime revenue (as of February 14, 2023).Meanwhile, fans are eagerly awaiting further news, hoping that the studio will deliver on its promise to finally bring Throne & Liberty to the masses. NCsoft promised to address the game's roadmap in its Q1 earnings call, scheduled for the second week of May, which falls during the application period but before the actual test. Moreover, a Korean media outlet recently reported a “fierce debate” within NCsoft over the launch, fueling speculation of a delay to October. There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical, as Amazon, the game’s western publisher, has remained tight-lipped and no tests have run in the west yet. But with no formal delay announcement, it's unclear whether that timeline is still valid.


The February test phase was meant to be the final one, with investors being told that the game would launch in the west during the first half of 2023. Throne & Liberty has been in development for a decade, experiencing numerous false starts, do-overs, and renames along the way since its introduction to the world as Lineage Eternal. “The Beta Test in May will only be available to players residing in South Korea.” “We thought that the game needed to be seen in a new light, which is why we decided to do a beta test,” the studio announced. After months of hibernation, NCSoft’s Throne and Liberty is finally seeing some action with the announcement of the next South Korean beta test from May 24th to May 30th.
