Game of Thrones: Kingsroad Unleashes Thrilling New Look At Co-Op Gameplay
Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is the latest multiplayer title from Netmarble Neo, the same team behind Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds. They’ve just dropped an early look at the game’s co-op mode, Altar of Memories, and it’s already turning heads. Right now, it’s in early access on Steam (launched back on March 26), with a full release planned for later this year.
Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, Altar of Memories
The hype around this game is rising with each new announcement, as fans can’t wait to jump into the mythical world of Westeros and battle alongside their friends. Supporting up to 4-player co-op, players will be tasked with defeating high-rewarding bosses in a dungeon-style experience that looks similar to Dragon Age: Inquisition‘s multiplayer feature.
Game of Thrones: Kingsroad will also be available in single-player, but the focus seems to be mainly on cooperative gameplay. Once players link up via the Altar of Memories, they will be greeted with a slew of different enemy types, including Giant Ice Spiders, Stormhorn Unicorns, Ironbeak Griffins, Red Cockatrices, and other formidable foes. There’s also the possibility of encountering Daenerys’s fiercest companion, Drogon.
Three Playable Classes
With three playable classes to choose from, which role will you choose in either single or multiplayer to champion your name throughout Westeros?
• Knight – Greatsword user with a unique flaming sword ability
• Assassin – Face-paced dual-wielding dagger user with throwing knives
• Sellsword – Slower but heavy-hitting axe-wielding warrior
Closing Thoughts
Steam reviews might be mixed for now, with fans feeling both excited and let down, but Game of Thrones: Kingsroad still looks like it’s shaping up to be a solid co-op adventure. Whether you’re diving into the story solo or teaming up in the chaotic, creature-filled Altar of Memories, there’s something here for both sides of the player base. It might not please everyone just yet, but there’s definitely potential for it to win people over.
