Game of Thrones: Kingsroad announces closed beta test coming this month

Netmarble is set to launch the closed beta for their much-anticipated game, *Game of Thrones: Kingsroad*, inspired by George R.R. Martin's iconic book series and the HBO series. Scheduled to kick off on January 15th and run until January 22nd, the beta will be available in the US, Canada, and select European regions. Android users can now sign up for this exclusive testing phase!

Unlike previous mobile adaptations of *Game of Thrones* that focused on strategy and high-level intrigue, *Kingsroad* offers a unique third-person action and adventure experience. Players assume the role of an heir to the obscure House Tyre, embarking on a journey across Westeros. This journey involves battling enemies and earning prestige through a series of intriguing events.

The game's trailer suggests a *Witcher*-like experience, featuring third-person exploration and combat. Players can choose from three distinct classes: the Sellsword, Knight, and Assassin, each offering unique gameplay mechanics. While the visuals and concept look promising, the true test will be the gameplay experience itself.

**Winter is coming (well, it's already here, but you know what I mean)** Registration for the closed beta is open until January 12th, so act quickly to secure your spot! Although *Game of Thrones: Kingsroad* looks impressive, it will undoubtedly face intense scrutiny from the dedicated fanbase. While the peak of *Game of Thrones* pop culture may have passed, fans are eager for an immersive experience like this.

Key concerns include monetization strategies and long-term support. If Netmarble can navigate these challenges successfully, they might just deliver the *Game of Thrones* experience fans have been longing for.
