Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is a faithful adaptation of the legendary Game of Thrones TV series, which itself is based on George R. R. Martin’s epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire. The game promises to capture the spirit of the show with familiar characters such as Jon Snow, Olenna Tyrell, and many others. Fans can expect to encounter a storyline that continues after the events of Season 4 of the TV series.
With stunning visuals and a dynamic open world, players can expect a gameplay experience akin to Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and The Witcher 3. However, in Kingsroad, you’ll play as a completely new character, and combat will be more personalized with three combat classes. Whether you prefer the elegance of swords, the stealth of bows, or the precision of throwing knives, the game offers a variety of combat styles to suit your playstyle.
