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

by Hannah Feb 28,2025

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

Initially launching on PC, before a later mobile release, the game follows the model of Once Human, prioritizing the PC platform. This allows for early feedback from the PC community, known for its candid and critical reviews, offering a valuable gauge of the game's quality before its mobile release.

Steam Nextfest serves as a platform for showcasing upcoming games, with a primary focus on playable demos. This gives both large publishers and smaller indie developers a chance to gather player feedback.

While some fans express cautious optimism, others voice concerns about the game's potential oversimplification of the source material's complex themes. However, the PC-first release strategy offers a level of reassurance, leveraging the PC community's reputation for thorough and vocal feedback to identify and address potential issues before a wider mobile release. This approach minimizes the risk of a poorly-received mobile launch.
