Overview and Setting
Set after the events of Season 4 of the acclaimed series, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad invites players to explore familiar locations such as Castle Black and the North. Iconic elements from the series, like the Night’s Watch, White Walkers, and characters such as Jon Snow, are brought to life with meticulous attention to detail, crafted in collaboration with Warner Bros. Games and HBO. The game incorporates an original storyline, giving fans a fresh yet nostalgic experience within the world of Westeros.
Gameplay Features
The gameplay combines action-packed combat with strategic elements, offering players a chance to engage in large-scale battles against fearsome foes like White Walkers and towering Giants.
