Inside Amazon Games Chief’s Strategy to Build Up a Triple-A Threat With ‘Tomb Raider,’ ‘Lord of the Rings’ and Leaving Space for New IP (EXCLUSIVE)

And so you can see a world where Amazon would do well to release a game simultaneously available to play on PC, console, mobile, as well as launching a TV series or an animation on its Prime Video service. You’ve just announced you’re launching NCSOFT’s free-to-play MMORPG “Throne and Liberty” in North and South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan in September.
