Step into the World of Westeros
If you’ve been yearning to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of the Game of Thrones universe, then the upcoming action-adventure RPG, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, is poised to fulfill your desires. This free-to-play game will be available on both PC and mobile platforms, offering players a fresh and captivating experience in the land of Westeros.
A New Chapter in the Game of Thrones Saga
Set during the latter half of Season 4 of Game of Thrones, Kingsroad introduces an original storyline that weaves seamlessly into the existing lore. Players will assume the role of a new character — an heir to House Tyre, a lesser-known house in the North that finds itself entangled in the complex political machinations of the realm. This character’s journey will intersect with iconic figures such as Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly, Lord Varys, and Cersei Lannister, allowing players to witness events and alliances that were previously unexplored, including the shifting allegiances of House Bolton.
Explore Iconic Locations
Kingsroad invites players to traverse a beautifully recreated Westeros, featuring renowned locations like King’s Landing, Castle Black, and Highgarden. The game encourages open-world exploration, allowing players to roam freely through these iconic sites, the wilderness beyond the Wall, and discover new hidden towns. Each town comes with unique quests and challenges that delve into the rich lore of the Game of Thrones franchise.
Diverse Quests and Engaging Gameplay
The gameplay is designed to keep players engaged with a variety of quests. In addition to the main storyline quests, players can take on side quests and optional Faction and Estate tasks, unlocking rewards such as money, gear, and crafting materials. This flexibility allows for character customization, enabling players to tailor their skills and loadouts to fit their preferred playstyle.
Combat: A Test of Strategy and Skill
In the treacherous realm of Westeros, danger lurks around every corner. The game’s combat system is rooted in the character class you choose, with three distinct options: Knight, Sellsword, and Assassin.
– **Knight**: Channeling the valor of Westerosi knights, this class utilizes a longsword and executes precise strikes.
– **Sellsword**: Drawing inspiration from the Wildlings and Dothraki, this class relies on brute strength.
– **Assassin**: Wielding double daggers with speed and agility, Assassins take cues from the Faceless Men and the fighters of Dorne.
Each class comes with its own unique gear, skills, and trait trees, allowing players to specialize in Attack, Defense, or Support. As you progress, you can choose to develop into a specialist or a versatile jack of all trades.
Strategic Combat Mechanics
Combat in Kingsroad demands keen observation and strategic thinking. Players must learn to read enemy attacks and react accordingly. While players can guard and parry, they must also be wary of unblockable attacks that require timely dodges. Mastering enemy patterns and timing your strikes is crucial for success in battle.
Multiplayer Adventures Await
In addition to the single-player campaign, Kingsroad features a multiplayer mode called Altar of Memories. Here, players can team up to face legendary creatures, including massive ice spiders, mythical unicorns from Skagos, majestic griffins, and fearsome cockatrices.
Get Ready for Early Access
Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is set to launch in Early Access on March 26. Interested players can pre-register on the official website for both PC (Steam and Windows Launcher) and mobile devices. The game is scheduled for full release in 2025 and promises cross-play and cross-progression across all platforms.
