If you’ve been yearning to immerse yourself in the rich world of Westeros, look no further. Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, a free-to-play action-adventure RPG, is on its way to PC and mobile devices, promising fans an exciting new storytelling experience.
Set against the backdrop of the latter part of Game of Thrones Season 4, this game unveils an original narrative. You step into the shoes of a brand-new character within the lore—an heir to House Tyre, a minor noble family ensnared in the treacherous political games that define the realm.
As you make your way through the game, you’ll encounter iconic figures such as Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly, Lord Varys, and even the formidable Cersei Lannister. Additionally, prepare to witness events like the shifting allegiances of House Bolton, never before seen in the series. Journey across Westeros, visiting reimagined locations like King’s Landing, Castle Black, and Highgarden, each crafted to mirror the show’s breathtaking visuals.
The game’s open-world design beckons you to explore beyond these familiar locales. Venture into the wilds beyond the Wall and uncover hidden towns, each brimming with unique quests and challenges that enrich the Game of Thrones lore.
Main story-driven quests keep you engaged, while a variety of side quests ensure there’s never a dull moment. You’ll also find optional Faction and Estate tasks, where success brings in money, gear, and crafting materials, letting you tailor your character and gear to fit your preferred style of play.
Traveling in Westeros is fraught with peril—not just from the political tensions but from those desperate enough to take drastic measures to survive. Here’s where the action-packed RPG combat shines.
Choose your class: Knight, Sellsword, or Assassin, each drawing inspiration from the series’ iconic figures. Knights wield longswords, striking with precision; Sellswords rely on brute strength, much like the Wildlings or Dothraki; Assassins, inspired by the Faceless Men, utilize deadly agility with dual daggers.
With each class comes unique gear, traits, and skills, allowing you to sculpt your character’s growth via separate trait trees focusing on Attack, Defense, and Support, along with unique skill slots tailor-fit for your strategies.
Combat demands strategic thinking, requiring you to read enemy actions and react deftly. Guard and parry your way to victory, but watch out—some attacks are unblockable, necessitating precise dodges. Victory hinges on catching the enemy off-guard and striking smartly.
Beyond the main solo campaign, you can dive into multiplayer action with Altar of Memories. Team up with fellow players to challenge legendary creatures like enormous ice spiders, unicorns from Skagos, majestic griffins, and even the grotesque cockatrices.
Mark your calendars for the Early Access launch on March 26. You can pre-register for Game of Thrones: Kingsroad right now. Available on PC through Steam and Windows Launcher, as well as mobile devices, the game will support cross-play and cross-progression among all platforms upon its full release in 2025.
