Game of Thrones: Kingsroad Beta Test Kicks Off This Month

• Game of Thrones: Kingsroad launches its initial closed beta on Android and PC
• Netmarble's new title delivers third-person action and adventure across Westeros
• Sign-ups are live, with the beta running from January 15th!

Netmarble’s upcoming title, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, inspired by George R.R. Martin’s book series and the HBO show, will launch its closed beta later this month. Starting January 15th and running through January 22nd in the US, Canada, and select European regions, registration is now open for Android users!

Unlike earlier mobile adaptations of Game of Thrones, which leaned heavily on strategy and intrigue-based gameplay, Kingsroad places you in the role of a single character. Through a series of unexpected events, you become the heir to the lesser-known House Tyre, journeying through Westeros, fighting enemies, and earning renown.

The trailer suggests a gameplay experience reminiscent of The Witcher, blending third-person exploration and combat with the ability to choose from three distinct classes: Sellsword, Knight, or Assassin. While visually striking, the true test will come when players dive into the beta.

Winter has arrived, and the adventure awaits

Sign-ups for the closed beta are open until January 12th, so act fast! While Game of Thrones: Kingsroad looks promising, it’s sure to face intense scrutiny. Though the peak of Game of Thrones’ cultural dominance has passed, its passionate fanbase is eager for an immersive, on-the-ground experience like this.

Monetization and long-term support will likely be critical points of discussion. If Netmarble can deliver, they might just satisfy the cravings of dedicated Game of Thrones fans.
