Now you can visit Westeros yourself with the first Game of Thrones: Kingsroad gameplay trailer

Winter is coming (again) in the upcoming video game based on George R.R. Martin's fantasy epic

It’s one thing to watch the action in Westeros, but another one altogether to be able to be in the middle of it. Thankfully, upcoming video game Game of Thrones: Kingsroad lets you step right into the fictional land (and fictional fights therein) of George R.R. Martin’s fan-favorite fantasy epics — and a new trailer lets you see just what that’ll look like.

Tying into the registration period for a closed beta test running January 16 through 22 — available in the US, Canada, and Europe — the new gameplay trailer for the game was released (via IGN):

Players will get to take on the role of a new heir to House Tyre, “a minor house from a modest keep in the remote reaches of the North.” When the heirs of the family are slaughtered at the Red Wedding, the player’s character is summoned home to defend the house… but that task is, of course, easier said than done.

The full game launches later in 2025. Registration for the closed beta closes January 12.


House of the Dragon season 2 may be over, but Popverse is still in the Westeros spirit, and we've got more Game of Thrones articles than could fit on a spiky chair. We'll tell you how to watch through the Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon saga in order, or if you're so inclined, read through it. We've dug through and exhumed the biggest differences between the two HBO shows set in Westeros, and gotten an inside look at them from House of the Dragon's prop designers. We've covered the history of Westeros's greatest houses & families, talked you through every single dragon in House of the Dragon so far, and peered into the future regarding A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, HBO's upcoming GoT spinoff, and we've got much, much more on the way.
