Netmarble's eagerly awaited action RPG, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, is gearing up to unveil its first playable demo at Steam Nextfest, running now until March 3rd. This marks the inaugural opportunity for fans to dive into this adaptation of the iconic book series, despite George R. R. Martin's ongoing efforts to keep the saga's conclusion at bay. The demo's release is a significant milestone for enthusiasts of the epic fantasy series, further fueled by the popularity of the HBO adaptation.
While Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is slated for a mobile release following its initial launch, it's taking a leaf out of Once Human's book by prioritizing a PC debut. This approach not only heightens anticipation but also offers a chance to gauge the game's reception among the PC gaming community before it hits mobile devices.
For those new to the concept, Steam Nextfest serves as a grand digital showcase for upcoming games. It's a platform where both major publishers and indie developers can offer playable demos, giving players a taste of what's on the horizon.
You know nothing, Jon Snow (We've done this one - Ed.)The buzz around Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is a mix of cautious optimism and skepticism. While some fans are excited to explore the game, others worry it might stray too far from the gritty essence of the books and show. However, the focus on a PC-first release could be a silver lining. The PC gaming community is known for its vocal feedback, which can be both a blessing and a curse. This approach might protect mobile gamers from potential disappointments, as any issues with the game are likely to be highlighted by PC players during the demo phase.
