Fancy stepping into the rich, tumultuous world of Game of Thrones? Get ready for Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, an intriguing action-adventure RPG that’s set to make waves on both PC and mobile. Best of all, it’s free-to-play!
Set against the backdrop of Westeros during the dramatic latter half of Season 4, this game rolls out a fresh, original storyline. You’ll be inhabiting the role of a character new to the series—a descendant of House Tyre. A minor house in the North, House Tyre finds itself ensnared in the web of political maneuvers that define the realm.
Embark on a journey that introduces you to iconic Game of Thrones figures such as Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly, Lord Varys, and the cunning Cersei Lannister. Alongside these familiar faces, you’ll witness previously unseen events, like the fluctuating loyalties of House Bolton. Your path will take you across the continent, through legendary locations meticulously recreated to echo their on-screen counterparts—look forward to visiting King’s Landing, Castle Black, and Highgarden.
The game offers open-world exploration at its finest. Navigate through these illustrious locations and beyond the Wall into unexplored territories, where new, hidden towns wait to be discovered. Each settlement brims with unique quests and challenges woven tightly into the Game of Thrones lore.
Alongside the compelling narrative quests, there are a variety of side missions to keep you engrossed. Whether it’s optional Faction and Estate tasks, each provides opportunities to earn rewards like money, gear, and crafting materials. These enable you to tailor your character and equipment to suit your specific approach to the game.
Naturally, being set in Westeros means your journey won’t be without danger. It’s a realm fraught with peril, as desperate souls roam the land, often resorting to violence. The action RPG combat system here reflects this intensity.
Your chosen class—Knight, Sellsword, or Assassin—will heavily define your combat experience. Inspired by the series’ archetypes, the Knight wields a longsword with calculated precision, the Sellsword uses raw power similar to Wildlings and Dothraki warriors, and the Assassin relies on the swift and deadly dance of double daggers, echoing the deadly Faceless Men.
Each class boasts its own array of gear, traits, and skills. The way your character develops is entirely up to you. Whether you want to narrow your focus on one particular trait—be it Attack, Defense, or Support—or spread your abilities across the board, the choice is yours. With four skill slots, you’re free to equip special skills honed throughout your journey, each class bringing unique capabilities to the table.
Victory in combat hinges on your ability to read your enemies’ intentions and react wisely. While you can guard and parry, some adversaries will unleash unblockable attacks that demand timely dodges. Analyze their patterns and strike strategically to triumph.
Alongside the single-player narrative, indulge in the multiplayer mode called Altar of Memories. Team up with fellow players to tackle legendary creatures like ice spiders as big as hounds, unicorns from Skagos, majestic griffins, and fearsome cockatrices.
Mark your calendars—the game’s about to hit Early Access on March 26. If you’re eager to get involved, pre-register for Game of Thrones: Kingsroad via the official website. It’s coming to both Steam and Windows Launcher for PC, as well as mobile devices, with cross-play and cross-progression features across all platforms.
