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

Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is set to launch into early access, marking a significant moment for fans of the dark medieval fantasy genre that the iconic series epitomizes. With the conclusion of the HBO miniseries and the continuation of the saga through House of the Dragon, the world of Westeros has been quietly simmering. Now, with Netmarble's upcoming game, that world is about to come alive once more, albeit initially on the PC platform.

Scheduled for early access on March 26th, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad will be exclusively available on Steam at first. This decision marks a notable shift for Netmarble, traditionally known for their mobile-centric approach. The allure of Game of Thrones' vast fanbase might just be the catalyst needed to ensure a successful launch on Steam, paving the way for a mobile release in the future.

Netmarble's strategy to debut on Steam before mobile is intriguing, especially given their history. It could be seen as a strategic move to stress-test the game with the more critical PC gaming community. While this approach might leave mobile enthusiasts waiting longer, it follows a trend seen with games like Once Human and Delta Force, suggesting a possible industry shift towards prioritizing PC launches.

As we observe this potential shift towards PC-first strategies from companies typically focused on mobile, the impact on the gaming landscape remains to be seen. In the meantime, for those eager to dive into new gaming experiences while awaiting Game of Thrones: Kingsroad's mobile debut, our latest list of the top five new mobile games to try this week offers plenty of options to explore.
