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 to experience this action RPG adaptation of the beloved book series. Players will step into the shoes of a newly-minted heir to House Tyrell.
Initially launching on PC, before a planned mobile release, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad follows the model of other titles like Once Human, prioritizing the PC platform first. This allows for valuable early player feedback and testing before the mobile launch.
Steam Next Fest serves as a prominent showcase for upcoming games, featuring playable demos. This allows developers, both large and small, to offer hands-on experiences to potential players.
While there's cautious optimism surrounding Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, some fans express concerns about oversimplification of the source material. However, the PC-first approach offers a degree of comfort. The PC gaming community is known for its vocal and critical feedback, providing a valuable testing ground and potentially mitigating risks associated with a mobile-only release. This upfront feedback mechanism could help Netmarble refine the game before its wider release.
