Netmarble is set to launch the first closed beta for Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, an exciting new game based on George R.R. Martin's iconic book series and the HBO show. This eagerly awaited closed beta will kick off on January 15th and run until January 22nd in the US, Canada, and select European regions. Android users, get ready—sign-ups for this thrilling beta are now open!
Unlike previous mobile adaptations that focused on strategy and the high-level intrigue of the series, Kingsroad offers a fresh take by placing you in the boots of a single character. As the unexpected heir to the obscure House Tyre, you'll embark on an adventure across Westeros, battling foes and gaining prestige along the way.
From the trailer, Kingsroad promises a Witcher-like experience with third-person exploration and combat. Players can choose to specialize in one of three distinct classes: the Sellsword, the Knight, or the Assassin. It all looks suitably impressive, but as they say, the proof is in the pudding.
Winter is coming (well, it's already here, but you know what I mean). Registration for the closed beta is open until January 12th, so don't miss your chance to join in! While Game of Thrones: Kingsroad looks promising, it's bound to attract close scrutiny from fans. Although the peak of Game of Thrones' pop culture dominance may have passed, the series still boasts a dedicated fanbase eager for an immersive, on-the-ground experience like this.
Monetization and long-term support will undoubtedly be critical factors. If Netmarble can navigate these challenges successfully, they might just deliver the experience that Game of Thrones enthusiasts have been longing for.
