Amazon Game Studios will return Western territory publishing responsibilities for “Throne and Liberty”  and “Lost Ark” to game developers NC and Smilegate, respectively, amid the company’s pivot away from massively multiplayer online games (MMOs).

According to Amazon, players of both games will not be directly affected, as data will directly transfer to the video game developers. However, Amazon Game Studios announced in-game mail, friends list memos, blacklist memos, guild member nicknames, stronghold gift messages and chat history will not transfer over for “Lost Ark.”
