Game of Thrones: Kingsroad debuts playable demo for Steam Nextfest ahead of mobile release

Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, one of Netmarble's most anticipated action RPGs, is finally giving players their first taste. A playable demo is now available at Steam Next Fest, running until March 3rd. This marks the first opportunity for fans to experience this adaptation of the beloved book series.

The game casts players as a newly-minted heir to House Tyrell, promising an immersive journey through the world of Westeros. Interestingly, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad seems to be prioritizing a PC release, mirroring the strategy of Once Human. While a mobile release is planned for later, the PC debut allows for valuable early feedback from a discerning audience.

Steam Next Fest provides a platform for both large publishers and smaller indie developers to showcase upcoming games through playable demos. This allows players to experience Game of Thrones: Kingsroad firsthand and provide crucial feedback.

Initial reactions to Game of Thrones: Kingsroad have been mixed. While some express cautious optimism, others worry about oversimplification of the source material's complexity. However, the PC-first approach offers a degree of comfort. The PC gaming community is known for its vocal and often critical feedback, potentially mitigating risks associated with a potentially flawed release. This pre-release testing could ensure a more polished experience for mobile players later on.
