If you’ve been yearning for a game that throws you into the dramatic universe of Game of Thrones, get ready for an exciting opportunity. Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, an action-adventure RPG you can play for free, is launching soon on both PC and mobile devices, and it promises to be an absolute treat for fans.
This game brings a brand new story set in the epic world of Westeros, unfolding during the latter part of Season 4 from the series. You’ll take on the role of a fresh character creation, an heir to House Tyre, a smaller house based in the North that’s been ensnared in the realm’s intricate political machinations.
Your path will intersect with some of the series’ most beloved characters such as Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly, Lord Varys, and Cersei Lannister. Plus, you’ll witness new events that didn’t make it to the screen, like the ever-shifting alliances of House Bolton. Expect to traverse iconic locations that fans will instantly recognize, from King’s Landing to Castle Black to Highgarden, each artfully recreated to match the series’ look.
The game invites you to explore an open world, freeing you to wander through these famous locales, take a trip beyond the Wall, and uncover hidden towns ready for discovery. Each town brims with unique quests and challenges that intricately weave into the rich tapestry of Game of Thrones lore.
On your journey, beyond the central storyline quest, you’ll find a plethora of engaging side quests waiting for you. You’re encouraged to delve into these to truly immerse yourself in Westeros. Whether its Faction quests or managing Estate tasks, there are endless opportunities to earn resources that help customize your character and tailor your gameplay style.
But remember, Westeros is a perilous world where danger is never too far off—not only from the political front but also survival-seeking foes. That’s where your combat skills will be vital as you navigate through the action-packed RPG landscape.
Choosing your combat style is crucial, and the game offers three classes: Knight, Sellsword, and Assassin. Each with its inspiration drawn straight from the show’s universe. Knights excel with a longsword, making calculated moves, while Sellswords use sheer strength and are inspired by the Dothraki and Wildlings. If stealth is your forte, the Assassin class offers swift dagger techniques, taking cues from the Faceless Men and fighters of Dorne.
Every class delivers distinct gear, traits, and skills, placing the evolution of your character squarely in your hands. The trait system is diverse, divided into Attack, Defense, and Support trees, allowing for specialization or a balanced jack-of-all-trades character. You have four skill slots to equip with abilities you unlock, each class providing its unique skills.
Engagement with enemies requires strategic thinking, as learning to read their attack patterns is key. Guarding, parrying, and knowing when to dodge out of the way is vital for survival, especially when facing unblockable attacks. Only by strategic timing and careful observation can you hope to defeat your foes.
Beyond the single-player narrative, there’s also a thrilling multiplayer mode called Altar of Memories. Here, you can join forces with others to battle legendary creatures like massive ice spiders, Skagos unicorns, majestic griffins, and the hideous cockatrice.
Mark your calendars for March 26 when the game enters Early Access. You can pre-register for Game of Thrones: Kingsroad right now through the official website, available on PC via Steam and Windows Launcher, and also on mobile. Don’t forget to wishlist it on Steam to stay up to date. Scheduled for a 2025 release, the game will support cross-play and cross-progression across its platforms.
