If you’re a Game of Thrones fan eagerly waiting to step into its legendary universe, then Game of Thrones: Kingsroad might just be the game for you. This free-to-play action-adventure RPG is gearing up for its release on both PC and mobile, promising an engaging experience that will appeal to fans and newcomers alike.
Set during the latter half of Season 4, Kingsroad introduces a fresh narrative within the world of Westeros. You’ll assume the role of a new character, an heir to House Tyre, a lesser-known house in the North tangled in the intricate politics of the realm.
Throughout your journey, you’ll interact with iconic figures like Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly, Lord Varys, and Cersei Lannister. Players will also witness never-before-seen events, such as the changing loyalties of House Bolton. Your travels will take you to familiar locales like King’s Landing, Castle Black, and Highgarden, each recreated to mirror their appearance from the show.
The game offers an open-world experience, allowing you to explore these celebrated locations and venture into the untamed wilderness beyond the Wall. As you uncover hidden towns, you’ll engage in unique quests and challenges that weave into the rich lore of Game of Thrones.
Alongside the main storyline, a plethora of side quests and activities keeps the gameplay fresh. Players can engage in optional Faction and Estate tasks, earning currency, gear, and crafting materials to customize their characters and gear according to their playstyle.
Westeros is treacherous, so expect more than just political threats. People willing to fight for survival abound, adding a thrilling action RPG element where combat style varies based on your chosen class. Whether you pick Knight, Sellsword, or Assassin, each class is inspired by familiar Game of Thrones archetypes. Knights wield longswords with precision, Sellswords unleash brute force akin to Wildlings and Dothraki, and Assassins, nodding to the Faceless Men, wield double daggers with agile expertise.
As your character grows, you customize it further through unique gear, traits, and skill sets. The choice is yours—specialize in Attack, Defense, or Support, or diversify your skills to become versatile. Four skill slots allow for equipping powerful abilities that evolve with each class.
Combat demands careful observation of enemy attacks, requiring players to defend and parry, yet staying mindful of unblockable moves that must be dodged. Strategic thinking becomes your strongest weapon in defeating adversaries.
Beyond the main single-player adventure, multiplayer action awaits in the Altar of Memories mode. Team up with others to face legendary beasts like colossal ice spiders, Skagosian unicorns, majestic griffins, and hideous cockatrices.
Although the game’s full release isn’t until 2025, you can get a taste of the adventure with Early Access starting March 26. Pre-register for Game of Thrones: Kingsroad through the official website, whether on PC via Steam and Windows Launcher or on mobile. Additionally, you can add it to your Steam wishlist.
