Game of Thrones has become synonymous with dark medieval fantasy for modern audiences, especially following the conclusion of the HBO series. However, since then, the world of Westeros has been relatively quiet, with the exception of the spin-off, House of the Dragon. Now, fans have something new to look forward to on the gaming front with Netmarble's upcoming release, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, which is set to enter early access on March 26th. There's a catch, though—for now, this exciting new game will be exclusively available on Steam, leaving mobile players waiting on the sidelines.
Netmarble, traditionally known for their focus on mobile gaming, is taking an intriguing step with this Steam launch. Given the widespread popularity of Game of Thrones, this move could attract significant attention. Hopefully, a successful early access period on Steam will pave the way for a mobile release sooner rather than later.
Insert Jon Snow knowing nothing joke hereNetmarble's decision to launch on Steam first is a bit puzzling, especially considering their history as a mobile-centric company. This could be seen as a stress test, as PC gamers are known to be more critical of any issues that could affect their gaming experience.
This approach leaves mobile gamers, who are typically more forgiving, feeling left out. It mirrors similar strategies seen with other games like Once Human and Delta Force, suggesting a potential shift among mobile-focused companies towards prioritizing PC releases. It remains to be seen whether this trend will continue.
