To help players quickly get into the action, one free Character Boost Ticket will be available for anyone who logs in between Wednesday, November 11 and Wednesday, December 16, 2026 (one per account). The ticket can be used on both new and existing characters. The boost instantly grants level 75 gear, allowing players to jump straight into their adventure after completing a brief tutorial.
Players can look forward to upcoming in-game events, Discord activities, the return of creator programs, and expanded opportunities to share feedback with the team. These initiatives are designed to welcome both new and existing players, foster community engagement and ensure players help shape the future of the game.
Over the coming months, NC and FirstSpark Games will gather player feedback across all regions and platforms. Community insights will help guide discussions around gameplay improvements and identify opportunities to enhance player experience.
In the meantime, existing Throne and Liberty players on Steam, PlayStation, XBOX and PURPLE will experience no disruption to their current gameplay experience. Players may continue using their existing accounts and will retain all progression, characters, items and previously purchased content.
