If you’ve been yearning to immerse yourself in a Game of Thrones universe, then get ready for Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, a free-to-play action-adventure RPG hitting PC and mobile soon. This game promises to be a treat for fans eager to experience the intrigue and drama of Westeros firsthand.
Set during the events of Season 4, the game introduces a fresh storyline. Your character steps into the shoes of the newest member of House Tyre, a lesser-known house in the North tangled in the series’ notorious political web. As you navigate this treacherous landscape, you’ll encounter iconic characters such as Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly, Lord Varys, and Cersei Lannister. Plus, you’ll witness unseen events like the fickle loyalties of House Bolton. Players will journey through familiar locations like King’s Landing, Castle Black, and Highgarden, meticulously designed to capture the essence of the beloved TV series.
With its open-world exploration, the game invites you to travel through these storied lands and even venture beyond the Wall. There’s plenty to uncover in new, hidden towns, each offering unique quests and challenges closely tied to the rich lore of the Game of Thrones universe.
Beyond the compelling main questline and engaging side quests, you’ll find a wealth of activities to explore Westeros. Dive into optional Faction and Estate tasks to earn money, gear, and crafting materials, giving you the freedom to tailor your character to your liking. This is Westeros, after all, so don’t expect your journey to be a gentle stroll. The realm is fraught with both political and physical dangers, as desperate souls fight tooth and nail to survive, providing ample opportunities for action-packed RPG combat.
Your choice of character class – Knight, Sellsword, or Assassin – significantly influences combat experiences. The Knight brandishes a longsword, relying on precision and strategy. Sellswords, deriving their strength from the Wildlings and Dothraki, employ brute force, while Assassins, inspired by the Faceless Men, slice through enemies with speed and dexterity. Each class comes with its own gear, traits, and skills, allowing you to shape your character’s growth across Attack, Defense, and Support specialization paths. Equipping special skills in the game’s combat system requires a keen eye for enemy tactics, urging you to guard, parry, and skillfully dodge unblockable attacks.
For those seeking more than solo adventures, the multiplayer mode Altar of Memories offers cooperative encounters against mythic beasts like enormous ice spiders, Skagos unicorns, and awe-inspiring griffins.
Mark your calendars for the game’s Early Access release on March 26. Eager fans can pre-register on the official website for access on PC via Steam and Windows Launcher, as well as on mobile devices. It’s set for a 2025 launch, supporting cross-play and cross-progression across platforms. For the latest updates, follow the game on Twitter, Facebook, and Discord. Whether braving the notorious lands alone or teaming up to face down mythical threats, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad promises a richly captivating dive into the Westeros adventure you’ve been waiting for.
