Game of Thrones: Kingsroad Reveals More Gameplay Details

Game of Thrones: Kingsroad Mobile RPG Beta Test Announced

Netmarble's upcoming mobile RPG, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, has unveiled a new gameplay trailer and details about its closed beta test. Set during the events of the show's fourth season, the game promises engaging combat and a rich narrative experience.

The closed beta, scheduled for January 16-22, 2025, in the US, Canada, and select European regions, offers fans a sneak peek before the full release later this year. Players can register via the game's official website.

This class-based RPG features "fully manual" controls, allowing for strategic combat. Prominent characters like Jon Snow, Jaime Lannister, and even Drogon will appear, alongside a new character from House Tyre in the North. The game's story is described as original, expanding on the established Game of Thrones lore.

The trailer showcases the game's action-packed combat and visually appealing graphics. Netmarble, known for titles like Marvel Future Fight and Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds, aims to deliver "raw, aggressive, and destructive" gameplay. Game of Thrones: Kingsroad has the potential to be a standout mobile title, capitalizing on the rich world and characters created by George R.R. Martin and HBO.

The game's timing is particularly interesting, offering fans a compelling experience while they await the next installment in the A Song of Ice and Fire book series, The Winds of Winter. The extended wait for the novel, coupled with delays, has led to speculation and even prompted George R.R. Martin to seek advice from Stephen King. However, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, alongside other projects like A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and House of the Dragon season 3, provides fans with engaging content in the meantime.
