Netmarble's eagerly awaited action RPG, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, is gearing up to unveil its first playable demo at Steam Nextfest, running now until March 3rd. This marks the inaugural opportunity for fans to dive into this adaptation of the iconic book series, despite George R. R. Martin's ongoing saga remaining unfinished. The excitement is palpable, especially among those captivated by the HBO series, as they prepare to step into the shoes of a newly-minted heir to House Tyre.
While Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is slated for a mobile release following its initial launch, it's taking a leaf out of Once Human's book by prioritizing a PC debut. This approach not only heightens anticipation but also offers a chance to gauge the game's reception firsthand during Steam Nextfest.
For those new to the event, Steam Nextfest serves as a grand digital showcase, spotlighting upcoming games through playable demos. It's a platform where both major publishers and indie developers can offer players a taste of what's to come.
You know nothing, Jon Snow (We've done this one - Ed.)The community's response to Game of Thrones: Kingsroad has been a mix of cautious optimism and skepticism. While some fans are thrilled at the prospect of exploring the world of Westeros in a new way, others worry that the game might oversimplify the complex narrative and gritty atmosphere that defines the series. However, without a game like Kingdom Come: Deliverance to set the bar, it's challenging to meet the high expectations set by the source material.
The decision to launch on PC first is reassuring. The PC gaming community is known for its vocal feedback, which can be both a blessing and a curse. This approach could protect mobile gamers from potential disappointments, as any issues with Game of Thrones: Kingsroad are likely to be highlighted by players during the demo phase at Steam Nextfest.
