Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, one of Netmarble's most anticipated action RPGs, is finally giving players their first taste. A playable demo is now available at Steam Next Fest, running until March 3rd. This marks the first opportunity to experience this adaptation of the beloved book series. Players will step into the shoes of a newly-minted heir to House Tyrell.

Initially launching on PC, before a later mobile release, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad appears to be following the model of Once Human, prioritizing the PC platform. This strategy provides valuable early feedback from a discerning PC gaming community known for its vocal opinions.

Steam Next Fest serves as a significant showcase for upcoming games, offering playable demos to a wide audience. This allows developers, both large and small, to gather player feedback before official release.

While there's cautious optimism surrounding Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, some fans express concern about oversimplification. However, the PC-first approach offers a degree of reassurance. The PC community's tendency towards critical feedback could provide valuable insights into the game's strengths and weaknesses, ensuring Netmarble addresses any potential issues before the mobile launch. This contrasts with the sometimes less vocal mobile gaming audience, which can be more susceptible to subpar releases.
