Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, Netmarble's highly anticipated action RPG, debuts its first playable demo at Steam Next Fest, running until March 3rd. This marks the first opportunity for players to experience this adaptation of the popular book series and HBO show.
Initially launching on PC, the game will later arrive on mobile platforms. This PC-first approach allows for early player feedback, crucial given the passionate and vocal PC gaming community. While some fans express concerns about the game's potential to oversimplify the source material's complexity, the demo provides a chance to assess its faithfulness to the Game of Thrones universe.
Steam Next Fest is a digital showcase of upcoming games, emphasizing playable demos. This allows developers, from large publishers to independent studios, to offer hands-on experiences to potential players.
The PC release allows for immediate and direct feedback from a discerning player base, potentially mitigating risks associated with mobile-only releases. The demo serves as a critical test, ensuring Netmarble addresses any concerns before a wider release. The focus on PC first offers a valuable opportunity for both the developers and the community to shape the final product.
