Prepare to experience Westeros in a new way with this action-adventure RPG based on HBO’s iconic Game of Thrones series
LOS ANGELES – DECEMBER 13, 2024 – Netmarble and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announced Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, an action-adventure RPG game set to launch in 2025. Last night, millions of gamers got their first look at the game, with a trailer premiering during The Game Awards. Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is currently in development for mobile, with other platforms to be determined.
Officially licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on behalf of HBO®, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad begins during season four of the Emmy® Award-winning and Golden Globe®-winning Game of Thrones series. In the game, players will experience a brand-new story as they take on the role of a new character, who, through a quirk of fate, becomes the heir to House Tyre, a small noble house in the North. In addition to customizing their character with a robust character creator, players will be able to select from one of three classes – Sellsword, Knight or Assassin – as they take their first steps into the world of Westeros.
Tasked with securing their legacy, players will also become embroiled in larger issues facing the world of Westeros, from political infighting to the looming threat from beyond the Wall. Each class must master unique combat styles in order to succeed in their tasks and advance. The Kingsroad is a difficult road to traverse, but rewards beyond measure await for those brave and strong enough to take this journey.
Netmarble CEO Young-sig Kwon said, “We believe Game of Thrones is a world rich with untold stories and adventures, and we’re pleased to bring Westeros to life in an exciting new way for gamers.”
Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is set to launch across various territories in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Oceania and the Middle East in 2025. Launch timing for Asia will be announced next year.
More details about Game of Thrones: Kingsroad will be released in the coming months. For more information, visit (https://gameofthrones.netmarble.com/).
