For those eagerly awaiting an immersive Game of Thrones experience, “Game of Thrones: Kingsroad” offers just that, set to launch soon on PC and mobile. This free-to-play action-adventure RPG promises to pull you deep into Westeros like never before.
This game introduces a fresh, original storyline set within the iconic world of Westeros, catching up with events during the latter part of Season 4 of the beloved TV series. You step into the shoes of an heir to House Tyre—one of the quieter, lesser-known Northern houses entwined in the realm’s intricate political machinations.
Your adventure will bring you face-to-face with some of Westeros’ most iconic characters, including Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly, Lord Varys, and Cersei Lannister. Prepare to witness events such as the shifting allegiances of House Bolton, all designed to show you hidden corners of the Game of Thrones universe. Players will traverse the continent to famous sites like King’s Landing, Castle Black, and Highgarden, all recreated to mirror their TV counterparts.
With its open-world exploration, the game lets you wander freely not only through these famed locations but also beyond the Wall and into hidden villages waiting to be uncovered. Each area brims with unique quests and adventures steeped in Game of Thrones’ rich lore, offering a real feast for fans.
Beyond the main storyline, side quests and activities abound to keep players engaged. Whether you choose to take on optional Faction or Estate objectives to amass gold, gear, and resources, you have ample opportunity to tailor your character and equipment as you wish.
Westeros being what it is, expect danger at every turn—not just from power-hungry factions but from the dangerous inhabitants of this world as well. As an action RPG, combat is central, and each class has its own style. You can choose from three distinct classes: the Knight, known for tactical precision with a longsword; the Sellsword, a powerhouse inspired by Wildlings and Dothraki; or the deadly Assassin, who channels the stealth and speed of the Faceless Men and Dornish fighters with twin daggers.
Characters evolve uniquely based on your choices. You can delve into Attack, Defense, or Support, each with specific traits to discover. Choose to focus on one or spread your talents across the board. With four skill slots, each class boasts unique abilities, and combat requires keen observation and reaction. Perfectly timing your defense and picking up on enemy cues will be crucial to triumph.
For those seeking more than just solo endeavors, Altar of Memories is the game’s multiplayer mode that lets you band together to battle legendary creatures—think creatures like massive ice spiders, mythical unicorns from Skagos, striking griffins, and terrifying cockatrices.
You won’t have long to wait, as the game rolls out in Early Access on March 26. You can pre-register now on their official website for both PC (Steam and Windows Launcher) and mobile devices. Even wishlist it on Steam to keep it top of mind. The full release is anticipated for 2025, complete with cross-play and cross-progression support.
