It’s one thing to watch the action in Westeros, but another one altogether to be able to be in the middle of it. Thankfully, upcoming video game Game of Thrones: Kingsroad lets you step right into the fictional land (and fictional fights therein) of George R.R. Martin’s fan-favorite fantasy epics — and a new trailer lets you see just what that’ll look like.

Tying into the registration period for a closed beta test running January 16 through 22 — available in the US, Canada, and Europe — the new gameplay trailer for the game was released (via IGN):

The full game launches later in 2025. Registration for the closed beta closes January 12.
