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. Set during the show's fourth season, 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, will offer fans a sneak peek before the 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 Tyrell in the North, alongside familiar faces and established lore.

The recently released trailer showcases the game's dynamic 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 narrative experience within the Game of Thrones universe, capitalizing on the rich world created by George R.R. Martin and HBO.

This mobile title arrives as fans eagerly await the next installment of the A Song of Ice and Fire book series, The Winds of Winter. While the manuscript faces delays, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad offers a substantial interim experience for fans, alongside other projects like A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and House of the Dragon season 3. The game's unique blend of familiar characters and a fresh storyline promises to immerse players in the world of Westeros.
