Game of Thrones: Kingsroad Mobile RPG Beta Test Announced
Netmarble's upcoming mobile RPG, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, has unveiled a new gameplay trailer and details about its closed beta test. This action-adventure title, set during the show's fourth season, 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 before its full release later this year. Players can register via the game's official website.
Featuring class-based progression with "fully manual" controls, Kingsroad offers players the chance to command iconic characters like Jon Snow, Jaime Lannister, and even Drogon. The game boasts an original storyline centered around a new character, the heir to House Tyre in the North, incorporating elements inspired by Wildlings, Dothraki, and the Faceless Men.
The recently released trailer showcases the game's impressive graphics and combat system, described by Netmarble as "raw, aggressive, and destructive." The developer, known for titles like Marvel Future Fight and Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds, aims to deliver a compelling story leveraging the rich lore and characters established by George R.R. Martin and HBO's adaptation. This mobile game may well become a standout for its story-driven gameplay.
The Game of Thrones: Kingsroad beta provides a welcome diversion for fans eagerly awaiting the next installment in the A Song of Ice and Fire book series, The Winds of Winter. While George R.R. Martin's progress on the manuscript has faced setbacks, Kingsroad, along with other projects like A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and House of the Dragon season 3, will keep fans engaged.
