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

by Savannah Feb 28,2025

Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, Netmarble's highly anticipated action RPG, is making its debut with a playable demo at Steam Next Fest, running until March 3rd. This marks the first opportunity for players to experience this adaptation of the popular book series and HBO show.

Initially launching on PC, before a later mobile release, the game allows players to assume the role of a House Tyrell heir. This PC-first approach mirrors the strategy employed by Once Human, potentially benefiting from the PC community's known tendency for vocal feedback, both positive and negative. This offers a valuable testing ground before the mobile launch.

Steam Next Fest serves as a significant platform showcasing upcoming games through playable demos, providing a hands-on experience for players.

While some express cautious optimism, others criticize the game for potentially over-simplifying the source material's complexity. However, the PC release first provides a crucial opportunity for community feedback, mitigating the risk of a subpar mobile release often seen in the mobile gaming market. The robust PC community's critical eye will likely provide valuable insights into the game's quality before it reaches a wider mobile audience.
