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.
