Publishing giant Netmarble has launched its new massively multiplayer online (MMO) strategy game in Seoul. Iron Throne, which previously went by the name Firstborn: Kingdom Come, will be up for pre-registration on Android soon ahead of a release in May.

Set in a fantasy realm, Iron Throne lets players take control of a variety of heroes in a fully 3D setting. It features a variety of weapons, ride-able dragons, and up to 100 versus 100 player online battles.

Little else is known about the game at this point, though it looks like Netmarble has high expectations for it. The South Korean company's chief global officer, Lee Seung-won, said during a press conference in Seoul that Iron Throne "will play a pivotal role in the company's future growth."
