If you’re a Game of Thrones enthusiast and have been longing for a game where you can fully immerse yourself in its universe, your wait is almost over. Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is a free-to-play action-adventure RPG making its way to your PC and mobile devices soon, promising an engaging dive into Westeros.
Set during the latter part of Season 4 of the show, this game introduces a fresh, original storyline. You will step into the shoes of an heir from House Tyre, a lesser-known house in the North, caught in the tangled web of the kingdom’s political intrigue.
Throughout your journey, you’ll rub shoulders with iconic characters like Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly, Lord Varys, and Cersei Lannister. Prepare to witness events previously unseen and to navigate the tumultuous loyalties of House Bolton. The game’s settings boast accurate recreations of famous locations such as King’s Landing, Castle Black, and Highgarden, faithfully capturing their essence from the TV series.
An open-world format lets you freely explore these destinations, along with the uncharted territories beyond the Wall and secretive new towns waiting to be uncovered. As you wander through these towns, expect to dive into unique quests and challenges that weave rich narratives deeply rooted in the lore of Game of Thrones.
Aside from the main quests pushing the storyline forward and exciting side quests keeping you on your toes, the game offers a wealth of activities for keen explorers of Westeros. Engage in optional Faction and Estate tasks to rack up some currency, gear, and crafting essentials, all key to molding your character and gear to perfectly match your gaming style.
What’s a trek through Westeros without danger? Beyond the backroom politics, threats lurk around every corner. It’s a harsh world where survival often requires violence—an aspect where the action RPG combat shines.
Your combat experience will hinge on your character class choice: Knight, Sellsword, or Assassin. Each class is inspired by various figures from Game of Thrones. Knights emulate the classic Westerosi knights with their precise swordplay. Sellswords channel the brute force of Wildlings and the Dothraki. Meanwhile, Assassins draw from the deadly precision of the Faceless Men and the skilled fighters of Dorne, wielding dual daggers with nimble finesse.
The evolution of your character is in your hands. Each class comes with distinct gear and skill paths focusing on Attack, Defense, or Support. You can specialize in one path or diversify your skills across them. With four skill slots available, you’ll be able to equip the special abilities you unlock tailored to your class.
Combat situations demand keen observation and quick reactions. While guarding and parrying are wise moves, some enemy attacks will be unblockable, requiring strategic dodges. Recognizing attack patterns and seizing the right moment to strike is crucial for overcoming opponents.
Beyond the single-player experience lies a thrilling multiplayer mode—Altar of Memories. Here, players can join forces to tackle formidable legendary creatures such as gigantic ice spiders, unicorns from Skagos, majestic griffins, and monstrous cockatrices.
Mark your calendars for March 26, when the game will be available in Early Access. You can already pre-register for Game of Thrones: Kingsroad through the official website. It’s set to release across PC (via Steam and Windows Launcher) and mobile, with features like cross-play and cross-progression uniting players across all platforms. Keep up with the latest updates by following the game on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Discord.
