[QUOTE="Admin, post: 67052, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2025/04/30/got-1746018553083.jpg[/IMG] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/game-of-thrones-kingsroad']Game of Thrones: Kingsroad[/URL] is set to leave early access and launch on May 21, Netmarble and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have announced. The action-adventure role-playing game based on George R. R. Martin’s much-loved fantasy universe is set for release on all mobile platforms as well as on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Windows. Game of Thrones: Kingsroad launched in early access form in March, and has a ‘mixed’ user review rating on Steam. Most of the negative reviews revolve around its monetization, which some have called “greedy.” “It’s like a mobile game on steroids and kinda not in a good way,” reads the current ‘most helpful’ review on Valve’s platform. In a release date FAQ [URL='https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3183280/view/536600287259918993']posted to Steam[/URL], Netmarble addressed the expected gap between the progression of early access and new players. It said that Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is “fundamentally designed with a focus on single-player gameplay,” and that it had worked to “minimize any feelings of imbalance or unfairness that might arise from differences in progression.” Testing was conducted to improve the game, the development team continued, "to improve the game and make it more enjoyable and accessible for everyone." “We encourage all players to focus on the inherent fun of progressing through the later stages and reaching the endgame content, rather than comparing progress with other characters,” Netmarble suggested. Netmarble went on to apologize for its prior communication and patches, which it admitted were “somewhat lacking.” “Moving forward, we are committed to more frequent and transparent communication through regular AMA sessions and Developer Notes,” it added. “We kindly ask for your continued anticipation and support as we approach the official launch.” As you’d expect from a game like this, there’s a premium Founder’s Pack that offers Early Access and other exclusive in-game content.
