Kingsroad Prepares for Beta, Dropping Players on Westeros

Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is launching a closed beta on Android and PC, starting January 15th! Netmarble's action-adventure title, set in Westeros, offers a unique third-person perspective unlike previous Game of Thrones mobile adaptations.

Sign-ups are open now until January 12th for this closed beta, running from January 15th to the 22nd in the US, Canada, and select European regions. This beta will be available on Android.

Unlike strategy-focused predecessors, Kingsroad casts players as the heir to House Tyre, embarking on a Westeros adventure filled with combat and prestige-building. The game's trailer showcases a Witcher-esque experience with third-person exploration and combat, featuring three distinct classes: Sellsword, Knight, and Assassin.

While visually impressive, the game's success hinges on its execution. The Game of Thrones fanbase remains dedicated, and the game's monetization strategy and long-term support will be crucial factors determining its reception. Netmarble faces the challenge of delivering the immersive experience fans desire.
