Game of Thrones: Kingsroad announces closed beta test coming this month

Game of Thrones: Kingsroad – Closed Beta Launches January 15th!

Netmarble's highly anticipated Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, adapted from George R.R. Martin's novels and the HBO series, is launching a closed beta on Android and PC. The beta begins January 15th and runs until the 22nd, available in the US, Canada, and select European regions. Sign-ups are open now!

Unlike previous Game of Thrones mobile games, which focused on strategy, Kingsroad offers a third-person action-adventure experience. Players become the heir to House Tyrell, embarking on a journey across Westeros, battling enemies, and building prestige.

The trailer showcases a Witcher-esque gameplay style, featuring third-person exploration and combat. Players can choose from three distinct classes: Sellsword, Knight, and Assassin. While visually impressive, the true test will be the final product.

Winter is Coming (and the Beta is Almost Here!)

Registration for the closed beta closes January 12th. While the game looks promising, it's sure to face intense scrutiny from the dedicated Game of Thrones fanbase. The success of Kingsroad hinges on its monetization strategy, long-term support, and overall player experience. Netmarble has the potential to deliver the immersive Game of Thrones experience fans have longed for.
