Game of Thrones: Gameplay Details Emerge

Game of Thrones: Kingsroad Mobile RPG – Closed Beta and Gameplay Revealed

Netmarble's upcoming mobile RPG, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, has unveiled a new gameplay trailer and details about its closed beta test. Set during the fourth season of the hit HBO show, this action-adventure game promises engaging combat and a rich narrative experience.

The closed beta, running from January 16th to 22nd, 2025, in the US, Canada, and select European regions, offers fans an early look at the game's features. Players can register via the official website. A full release is anticipated later in 2025.

The trailer showcases class-based progression, with "fully manual" controls allowing players to command knights, assassins, and other character types. The game boasts an original storyline centered around a new character, the heir to House Tyrell in the North. Familiar faces from the Game of Thrones universe, including Jon Snow, Jaime Lannister, and even Drogon, will also feature.

Netmarble, known for titles like Marvel Future Fight and Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds, describes the combat as "raw, aggressive, and destructive." The game leverages the rich lore and character depth established by George R.R. Martin and the HBO series, aiming to deliver a compelling mobile experience. The developers promise a story that will appeal to fans of the books and show alike.

The beta test provides a welcome distraction for fans awaiting the next installment in Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, The Winds of Winter. While the book's release remains uncertain, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad offers a chance to delve back into the world of Westeros with a new, mobile-friendly adventure. The game will likely also satisfy fans until the release of other upcoming projects like A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and House of the Dragon season 3.
