Netmarble has released a comprehensive update roadmap for Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, detailing major plans for 2026. A significant focus for the coming year is enhancing the game’s overall presentation through sharper graphics and more detailed cutscenes. Developers are also refining the combat experience by adding new visual effects for defeating enemies and introducing a more dynamic weapon system. In the new system, each weapon type will have its own separate skill sets, slots, and cooldown timers, allowing players to switch playstyles on the fly and make more strategic choices during battle.

New Story Chapters and Locations

The narrative of the open-world RPG will expand significantly in 2026 with the introduction of Chapter 4. This new segment of the story will center on House Lannister and feature Casterly Rock as its primary setting. Players can expect to face new conflicts and make difficult decisions that will shape their journey through Westeros. To keep the gameplay challenging, a new Hard Mode will be introduced, specifically designed to test the proficiency of experienced knights and demand high-level strategic planning to overcome.

Multiplayer Content and Market Overhaul

Fans of cooperative play have a lot to look forward to with the addition of new multiplayer PvE content themed around the ruins of Harrenhal. This team-based mode will allow players to join forces with others to take down powerful foes and earn rewards. Additionally, the in-game market system is undergoing a major inspection to provide better growth opportunities. This update will allow for the free trading of various resources, making it faster and easier for players to obtain the specific materials they need. Starting in January 2026, players can also look forward to the “World Difficulty Hedge Knight III,” providing even greater challenges for those with high momentum scores.
