Get ready for the upcoming closed beta of Netmarble's Game of Thrones: Kingsroad! This action-adventure title, based on George R.R. Martin's acclaimed series and HBO's hit show, will launch its closed beta on Android and PC starting January 15th.
The beta, running from January 15th to 22nd in the US, Canada, and select European regions, offers a unique perspective on Westeros. Unlike previous mobile Game of Thrones adaptations, Kingsroad places you in the role of a single character, heir to House Tyre, embarking on a journey filled with battles and quests for prestige.
The game's trailer showcases a Witcher-esque third-person experience, featuring exploration and combat, with three distinct character classes: Sellsword, Knight, and Assassin. While visually impressive, the true test lies in gameplay.
Winter is Coming (and the Beta is Almost Here!)
Registration for the closed beta is open until January 12th. While Game of Thrones: Kingsroad shows promise, it will undoubtedly face intense scrutiny from the dedicated fanbase. The game's monetization strategy and long-term support will be key factors determining its success. However, if Netmarble delivers a compelling experience, it could satisfy the desires of long-time Game of Thrones fans.
