Game of Thrones: Kingsroad – Closed Beta Coming January 15th!

Netmarble's upcoming Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, adapted from George R.R. Martin's books and the HBO series, is launching a closed beta on Android and PC starting January 15th and running until the 22nd in the US, Canada, and select European regions. Sign-ups are open now!

Unlike previous Game of Thrones mobile games, which focused on strategy, Kingsroad offers a third-person action-adventure experience. Players become the heir to House Tyre, embarking on a journey through Westeros, battling enemies, and building prestige.

The trailer showcases Witcher-esque gameplay, featuring third-person exploration and combat, with three character classes: Sellsword, Knight, and Assassin. While visually impressive, the game's long-term success hinges on factors like monetization and ongoing support.

Winter is Coming (and Beta Sign-Ups End Soon!)

The closed beta registration closes January 12th. While the Game of Thrones craze may have subsided, a dedicated fanbase eagerly awaits a high-quality, immersive game. Netmarble faces the challenge of meeting these expectations, particularly concerning monetization and long-term updates. Success will depend on delivering the experience fans crave.
