Netmarble has released a new gameplay trailer for Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, the upcoming action-adventure RPG for iOS, Android, and Windows PC (via Windows Launcher). A closed beta test will also be happening from January 16-22 in the U.S., Canada, and select parts of Europe. Watch the new gameplay trailer above.
Announced at The Game Awards last month, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is a class-based game where you can play as a longsword-wielding Knight, the Sellsword that takes inspiration from the Wildlings and Dothraki and promises “raw, aggressive, and destructive” combat, or the Faceless Man-inspired, dual-dagger-wielding Assassin. Gameplay will have “fully manual” controls – no doubt a nod to Kingsroad’s mobile game roots.
Story-wise, Netmarble describes the setup for Kingsroad as follows: “Players will experience a brand-new story as they take on the role of a new character, who, through a quirk of fate, becomes the heir to House Tyre, a small noble house in the North.”
Finally, Netmarble says, “Players can sign up for the Regional Closed Beta now through January 12 on the official game website to play the game on Android devices and through Windows launcher on PC.” The full game release will occur later this year.
