Game of Thrones: Kingsroad Unveils a Fresh Journey Through Westeros

If you’ve been yearning to immerse yourself in the world of Game of Thrones, stay tuned because Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is coming your way soon, available for free play on both PC and mobile devices. This action-packed RPG adventure will let you step right into the heart of Westeros.

The game introduces a brand-new tale set in the intricate landscape of Westeros, specifically during the latter half of Season 4 of the series. Your character emerges as a fresh face in the mix—a new heir to House Tyre, a lesser-known house nestled in the North. As you would expect, the political machinations of the realm soon ensnare your character in their complex webs.

Your adventure will see you crossing paths with familiar faces like Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly, Lord Varys, and Cersei Lannister. You’ll also experience unique events such as the shifting loyalties of House Bolton. Players will journey across the continent, visiting iconic locations like King’s Landing, Castle Black, and Highgarden, all meticulously re-crafted to mirror the show’s look.

Thanks to the open-world exploration, you’re free to navigate these famous sites, venture beyond the Wall, and uncover new secret towns. Each locale offers a trove of unique quests and challenges rooted deeply in the rich lore of Game of Thrones.

Beyond the main storyline quests, which push the narrative forward, the game invites you to explore Westeros through a myriad of activities. From engaging side quests to optional Faction and Estate tasks, there’s plenty to keep you busy. These tasks not only reward you with money, gear, and crafting materials but also allow you to tailor your character and loadout according to your gameplay preferences.

Naturally, danger lurks at every corner in Westeros—not just from political foes but also from desperate individuals ready to do whatever it takes to survive. This is where the action-oriented RPG combat system really shines.

Combat in the game is shaped by your character’s class. You can choose from three distinct classes: Knight, Sellsword, or Assassin—each inspired by character archetypes in the series. Knights embody Westerosi warriors, wielding longswords with precision. Sellswords, on the other hand, echo the raw power of Wildlings and Dothraki. Meanwhile, Assassins take cues from the Faceless Men and Dornish fighters, employing twin daggers with striking agility.

Every class offers its own gear, traits, and skills, letting you guide your character’s development as you see fit. The game features trait trees divided into Attack, Defense, and Support, each filled with nodes granting specific effects. You can choose to master a single area or become a jack of all trades. Additionally, you have four skill slots to equip specialty skills, which are unique to each class.

Being successful in combat means paying attention to enemy attacks and responding appropriately. While you can guard and parry in most instances, some foes have attacks you can only evade by dodging. Thus, a strategic approach is vital in dissecting attack patterns and seizing the perfect moment to counter.

For those eager for a communal experience, the game includes a multiplayer mode called Altar of Memories. Here, you and your friends can band together to confront legendary creatures, like ice spiders bigger than hounds, Skagos unicorns, breathtaking griffins, and grotesque cockatrices.

Mark your calendar for March 26, when the game launches in Early Access. You can pre-register for Game of Thrones: Kingsroad right now on their official site, for both PC via Steam and Windows Launcher and on mobile devices. You can also add it to your Steam wishlist. Set for a 2025 release, the game promises cross-play and cross-progression across all platforms. To keep abreast of the latest updates, follow them on Twitter, Facebook, and Discord.
