If you’re eager to immerse yourself in the Game of Thrones universe, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad might just fulfill that desire. This upcoming free-to-play action-adventure RPG is set to launch soon on PC and mobile, promising an exciting excursion into Westeros.
The game presents a fresh narrative situated during the latter part of Season 4 of the iconic series. You’ll step into the shoes of a new character, the heir to House Tyre, a minor Northern house entwined in the realm’s political machinations.
Your adventure will lead you to cross paths with iconic figures like Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly, Lord Varys, and Cersei Lannister. You’ll witness legendary events, such as House Bolton’s shifting loyalties, like never before. As you traverse the continent, you’ll visit legendary locales such as King’s Landing, Castle Black, and Highgarden, expertly recreated to capture their TV counterparts’ essence.
Explore the game’s open world and wander freely through these well-known locations, as well as the untamed regions beyond the Wall and newly-discovered towns. Each town presents unique quests and challenges that enrich the deep lore of the Game of Thrones universe.
Beyond the main questline that propels the narrative, numerous side quests are designed to keep you engaged. You can indulge in optional Faction and Estate tasks to earn rewards like money, gear, and crafting materials, enabling you to customize your character’s loadout to match your playstyle.
True to the nature of Westeros, your journey is fraught with peril—both political and otherwise. The realm is brimming with desperate souls, ready to kill for survival, against whom you’ll test your mettle in action-packed RPG combat.
Your character’s combat style hinges on their class, with three enticing choices at your disposal: Knight, Sellsword, or Assassin. The Knight wields a longsword, using precise and calculated strikes, reminiscent of the Westerosi knights. As a Sellsword, your character channels raw power, inspired by the Wildlings and Dothraki. If you opt for the Assassin class, expect the agile menace of double daggers, drawing influence from the Faceless Men and Dorne warriors.
Each class provides distinct gear, skills, and traits, allowing players to carve their unique path. Traits are divided into Attack, Defense, and Support categories, each housing nodes that deliver specific perks. Whether you focus on mastering one field or diversifying your growth, the choice is yours. You can unlock and equip special skills across four available slots, tailored uniquely to each class.
Combat relies on anticipating enemy attacks and reacting with precision. While guarding and parrying are part of your arsenal, some enemy attacks are unstoppable unless dodged. Staying alert, analyzing enemy patterns, and choosing the right moment to attack are key to emerging victorious.
Apart from the single-player main storyline, the game features a multiplayer mode called Altar of Memories. Here, you can join forces with other players to battle legendary beasts, including gigantic ice spiders, Skagos unicorns, majestic griffins, and grotesque cockatrices.
Mark your calendars for March 26, when the game launches in Early Access. You can pre-register for Game of Thrones: Kingsroad through the official website. Available on PC via Steam and the Windows Launcher, as well as on mobile devices, the game supports cross-play and cross-progression across all platforms and is set for a 2025 release.
