When Game of Thrones Kingsroad was showcased at The Game Awards 2024, I didn’t go easy on it. As a big fan of G.R.R. Martin’s magnum opus, I’ve coveted a proper, triple-A rendition for well over a decade. This, a mobile game first and foremost, clearly wasn’t it.
Regardless of how I feel about it, the game’s development is progressing, and now Netmarble has shared a gameplay sneak peek that’s definitely more promising than the previous trailer. We can see the clear inspiration from action/adventure games like the latest Assassin’s Creed titles, and there’s even Lady Olenna herself warning our main character, a noble who suddenly finds himself the heir to a minor House, that he ‘gravely underestimates the game’ the big Houses play.
Along with the brief gameplay video, Netmarble also announced a Game of Thrones Kingsroad Closed Beta Test kicking off in just a few days, on January 16, and running through January 22 in the United States, Canada, and select parts of Europe (Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Turkey, Switzerland, Sweden, Poland, Norway, Austria, Belgium, Ukraine, Denmark, Ireland, Romania, Finland, Portugal, Greece, Hungary, Slovakia, Luxembourg, Croatia, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania).
Signups are open on this page for Android and Windows PC. That’s right, there will be a PC launcher to play the game on the platform. These are the required specs for the Game of Thrones Kingsroad Closed Beta Test:
