Netmarble and Warner Bros. had a surprise today for fans of Game of Thrones in the form of a demo of the upcoming open-world RPG Game of Thrones: Kingsroad.
The demo for PC, launched on Steam as part of Steam Next Fest is actually rather massive, requiring a 30.4 Gigabytes download.
It’ll be available only for a limited time, until March 4 at 12:00 a.m. PST.
The announcement was accompanied by a trailer showing more of the game, which you can enjoy below.

There will also be rewards depending on how many wishlists the game gets, 100,000 will grant 50,000 copper. 300,000 will grant the Night Watch Battle Supplies. 500,000 will grant a set of 3 emoticons. 700,000 will grant a Three-Eyed Raven profile background. One million wishlists will unlock an uncommon horse mount.
Game of Thrones: Kingsroad was initially announced only for iOS and Android, but after a few weeks, Warner Bros seemed to see the light and announced a PC version as well.
It’s a fully licensed game and it’ll feature many known characters from the TV series, including their actors’ likenesses.
