Developer's Note: 2026 Update Development Status

Hello, this is JANG, the Executive Producer of Game of Thrones: Kingsroad.

We hope the beginning of 2026 has been meaningful and rewarding for all of you.

Thanks to your continued support and passion, our development team has been able to focus on enhancing the overall quality and depth of the gameplay experience.

As we move into the new year, we will continue to explore new content and quality-of-life improvements to bring you a richer journey through Westeros.

Based on the many valuable suggestions we’ve received recently, we are working to reduce gameplay inconveniences and to deliver a more enjoyable and immersive experience.

We’d like to share a closer look in this January Developer’s Note at the content improvements currently in development.

⚠️ All the following information is under development and subject to change before release. The finalized details will be announced through future notices.

🛠️ Content Currently in Development

1. Weapon Swap

Weapon combinations available through the Weapon Swap System for each class have now been finalized.

You can view the confirmed weapon combinations for each class in the images below and explore different combat styles by switching weapons to match the situation.

Assassin: Dual Daggers / Rapier

The Assassin utilizes the swift and razor-sharp techniques favored by the Faceless Men and the warriors of Dorne.

By weaving together the rapid, consecutive strikes of dual daggers with the piercing precision of a rapier, the class offers an elegant yet deadly form of combat that values agility, accuracy, and timing above all.

Sellsword: Axe / Chain and Buckler

Inspired by the wild and brutal fighting styles of Westeros’s fiercest warriors, the Sellsword class alternates between a devastating two-handed axe and gauntlets/bucklers wrapped in chains.

The two-handed axe’s overwhelming strength combines with the buckler’s overwhelming pressure to create a ruthless and ferocious combat style.

Knight: Greatsword / Dual Blades

The Knight embodies the disciplined and weighty swordsmanship practiced by the knights of Westeros.

By combining the greatsword’s wide slashes with the dual blades’ precise strikes, the class delivers a balanced yet impactful combat style.

Detailed information on each weapon’s skill sets and system mechanics will be introduced in future Developer’s Notes.

1. Improvements to the Altar of Memories

2. Wish Reward System Improvements

The Wish Reward system will be improved to make it more enjoyable than before.

Rewards had to previously be set separately for each dungeon. However, in the future, a single setting will apply across all Altar of Memories dungeons.

This will significantly reduce repetitive setup and make reward management more intuitive and streamlined.

1. Addition of Support Allies

We plan to add a Support Ally system to improve the accessibility and stability of the Altar of Memories. This will allow players to receive assistance from allies taking the role of players.

These allies will fill empty party slots in multiplayer content, reducing matchmaking waiting time and ensuring a smoother gameplay experience.

This system is especially designed to assist new and returning players, allowing them to challenge content together with supporting allies even when a full party is not available.

If matchmaking takes longer than expected, an ally will automatically join the team, allowing players to begin the challenge without delay.

We hope this improvement enables all players to enjoy the Altar of Memories with greater stability and confidence as they adventure across Westeros.

1. Other Systems and Content in Development

2. Party Spectator Mode

As mentioned in the last Developer’s Note, the number of resurrections are limited in Hard Mode in the Altar of Lost Memories, requiring more strategic decision-making.

When a player has used the maximum number of resurrections, they will no longer exit the battle entirely but can spectate from the perspective of surviving party members.

This will allow defeated players to analyze combat patterns and coordinate strategies for subsequent attempts. Additionally, we plan to add a camera-switching feature, so that players can freely view the battle from different party members’ points of view.

1. Enemy Hideouts (Elite)

To broaden multiplayer experiences, our team is developing new co-op content that diverges from competitive PvE formats. Enemy Hideouts are a two-player co-op mode based on the existing Enemy Hideouts system, emphasizing team coordination and strategic combat rather than simple enemy elimination.

Compared to regular Hideouts, Elite Hideouts feature a greater number of enemies and progressively increasing difficulty as you and your partner clear them more efficiently.

Through the Affix System, enemies will appear with various debuff skills that require strategic role distribution and cooperation to overcome.

This new format is designed to reduce repetitiveness and deliver a fresh co-op experience centered on tactical teamplay and dynamic coordination.

To express our gratitude for your ongoing support and feedback, we’ve prepared a special reward in celebration of this Developer’s Note.
