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

When it comes to genre-defining works, few would argue that *Game of Thrones* has become the epitome of dark medieval fantasy for modern audiences. Since the conclusion of the HBO miniseries, the world of Westeros has been relatively quiet, save for the spin-off *House of the Dragon*. But now, the silence is breaking, at least in the gaming realm, with Netmarble's upcoming release, *Game of Thrones: Kingsroad*, set to enter early access on March 26th. There's a catch, though: it's launching exclusively on Steam for now, leaving mobile players waiting on the sidelines.

This strategic move by Netmarble, a company traditionally focused on mobile gaming, is intriguing. Given the widespread appeal of *Game of Thrones*, a successful Steam early access could pave the way for a quicker mobile release. Let's hope that's the case, as the anticipation among fans is palpable.

Netmarble's decision to launch on Steam first is a bit puzzling, given their history. It might be a stress test to gauge PC player feedback, who tend to be more critical of any perceived flaws in the gaming experience. This approach, however, might leave mobile enthusiasts feeling left out, echoing similar strategies seen with games like *Once Human* and *Delta Force* from other developers. Are we witnessing a trend where mobile-centric companies are shifting towards PC-first releases? Only time will tell.
