Game of Thrones: Kingsroad Unveils a Fresh Journey Through Westeros

If you’ve been longing to immerse yourself in the Game of Thrones universe, look no further. The upcoming release of Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is right around the corner, and it’s set to offer a free-to-play action-adventure RPG experience on PC and mobile that’s bound to captivate fans.

This fresh take on Westeros unfolds an original story that takes place during the latter half of Season 4 of the series. You’ll be stepping into the shoes of a new character, an heir from the lesser-known House Tyre in the North, as they navigate the intricate political landscape of the Seven Kingdoms.

Your journey through this richly crafted world will have you crossing paths with beloved characters like Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly, Lord Varys, and Cersei Lannister. You’ll also witness previously untold events, such as the shifting loyalties of House Bolton. Get ready to traverse iconic locales such as King’s Landing, Castle Black, and Highgarden, all faithfully recreated to mirror their appearances from the show.

The game invites you to roam its open world freely, exploring renowned places as well as venturing beyond the Wall and uncovering secretive new towns. Each settlement is a treasure trove of unique quests and challenges, all deeply tied to the rich lore of Game of Thrones.

In addition to the gripping main storyline and attention-grabbing side quests, there’s a plethora of activities that will keep you engaged in Westeros. Take on optional Faction and Estate tasks to amass wealth, gear, and crafting materials, enabling you to customize your character to fit your preferred style of play.

As you navigate the perilous landscape of Westeros, expect danger at every turn, not just from political foes but also from adversaries willing to fight for survival. That’s when the game’s action RPG combat mechanics come into play.

Selecting a class—Knight, Sellsword, or Assassin—will determine your combat style. Inspired by various Game of Thrones characters, each class offers a distinct weaponry style and fighting technique. The Knight wields a longsword with precision, the Sellsword exhibits brute force with influences from the Wildlings and Dothraki, and the Assassin specializes in stealth and agility reminiscent of the Faceless Men.

Character development is yours to command. Choose your path through diverse trait trees focusing on Attack, Defense, and Support, shaping your character to excel in specific areas or become a versatile jack-of-all-trades. With four skill slots for special abilities unique to each class, your strategic choices will lead the way in battle.

Combat hinges on keen awareness and tactical responses. Guarding and parrying are vital, but some enemy strikes demand a well-timed dodge to avoid, requiring you to observe and adapt to enemy patterns to seize victory.

Beyond the single-player experience, fans can dive into the Altar of Memories multiplayer mode. Team up with others in thrilling encounters against legendary creatures like towering ice spiders, unicorns from Skagos, majestic griffins, and hideous cockatrices.

Make a note in your calendar: the game enters Early Access on March 26. Pre-registration is open now on the official website for both PC (via Steam and Windows Launcher) and mobile platforms. Add it to your wishlist and prepare for its full launch in 2025, featuring cross-play and cross-progression.
