"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad Now in Early Access on Steam"

Game of Thrones has solidified its place as the quintessential example of dark medieval fantasy in modern culture. Since the conclusion of the HBO series, the rich world of Westeros has been relatively quiet, with the exception of the spin-off, House of the Dragon. However, fans of the franchise have something new to look forward to on the gaming front.

Netmarble's much-anticipated game, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, is set to launch into early access on March 26th. There's a catch, though: it's exclusively available on Steam for now. This is a notable move for Netmarble, traditionally a mobile-focused developer, indicating a strategic shift towards PC gaming platforms.

Given the massive appeal of the Game of Thrones franchise, a successful Steam early access period could pave the way for a mobile release in the near future. Netmarble's decision to launch on Steam first could be seen as a stress test, allowing them to refine the game based on feedback from the typically more critical PC gaming community.

This approach, however, leaves mobile gamers, who have historically been more forgiving, waiting on the sidelines. It echoes similar strategies seen with games like Once Human and Delta Force, where PC versions were prioritized over mobile. This trend might suggest a broader industry shift towards PC-first releases from companies traditionally focused on mobile gaming.
