Hello, this is JANG, the Executive Producer of Game of Thrones: Kingsroad.We want to extend our sincerest gratitude to everyone who has joined us on this long journey—from our initial Early Access launch all the way to our official release.
Since launch, we've been closely listening to the invaluable feedback you've shared. Our development team has been working hard not only to resolve immediate issues, but also to shape the long-term direction of our post-launch updates.
Today, we’re excited to share the first details of what’s next:
Season 1 is on the horizon.
This will be our first major post-launch update, bringing new content, storylines, and systems that mark the beginning of an ongoing seasonal experience. We’ll have more to share soon, including a full roadmap, but today’s note includes an early preview of what to expect.
Today’s update focused primarily on addressing key stability issues and major concerns identified after launch.
Now that the update is live, we wanted to use this opportunity to share with our players where things currently stand and give everyone a sneak peek at what’s coming next as we approach our next major update.

[Improvements and New Content][/h2]
[h3]
1. Improved Patch Download Stability on Mobile Devices[/h3]
We’ve made key improvements to address issues that were affecting patch file downloads on mobile devices. With this update, the download and installation process should now be significantly more stable and reliable.
In addition, we’ve resolved several progression-blocking bugs that occurred during gameplay. These fixes should result in a smoother, more consistent experience for players on mobile platforms.

2. Character Appearance Change Feature[/h3]
We’re excited to introduce a highly requested feature: the ability to change your character’s appearance.
Starting with the update on June 25th (PT), a new item—Character Appearance Change Coupon—will be added to the game. With this item, you’ll be able to freely customize both your character’s gender and appearance.
To celebrate the update, we’ll be giving all players a free Character Appearance Change Coupon—so you can jump back in and reimagine your character any way you like.

3. New Raid Content[/h3]
Prepare for our first major content update: the
Kraken Raid.
This new raid will be available on a weekly basis and won’t consume RP to participate. It’s designed to be a challenging new experience for players at all levels—and we can’t wait to see how you rise to the occasion.

We’ll be introducing our new seasonal content across two developer notes.
In today’s update, we’re giving you an early look at the season’s story setup and the upcoming Kraken Raid.
“The Salt Throne shall tremble.”Following a revelation from the Drowned Priests, many Ironborn have begun their advance towards the North. In the name of the Drowned God, they depart their isles, launching an invasion armed with the power of the sea and their indomitable iron will.

2. The Kraken Raid: Challenge the Depths[/h3]

[Additional Information][/h2]
[h3]
1. Compensation for Artifact Expedition Adjustments[/h3]
We’d like to take a moment to address the recent changes made to the Artifact Expedition system.
We’ve heard feedback from many of our Early Access players regarding concerns around fairness following the system update. Please know that your passion and dedication throughout the Early Access period have not gone unnoticed—and we remain deeply grateful for your support.
To ensure fairness under the newly adjusted system introduced after launch, we’ll be reviewing the total number of Artifact Cart items used during Early Access and provide compensation calibrated to what would have realistically been obtainable under the improved system.
This will require the development of new tracking and support features, so we ask for your patience as we work through this process. We’re aiming to have everything ready by June 12th, at which point we’ll follow up with more information outlining the eligibility criteria, compensation details, and distribution timeline.
[h3]
2. Further Notice Regarding Recovery of Founder’s Packs[/h3]
We’d also like to share an update on the unintended distribution of Founder’s Packs to accounts that had not purchased them. Although the initial recovery process has been completed, we’ve received considerable feedback concerning the absence of clear information regarding players who had already claimed the packs.
We are currently preparing an additional recovery operation for remaining accounts, and have been developing and testing new tools to ensure accurate retrieval of the affected items.
Once testing is complete, we’ll proceed with individually tracking and recovering any remaining misdelivered items. We’ll provide a follow-up notice once this process has been finalized.
That concludes today’s developer note.
We have a lot more to share about the next major update—so much, in fact, that we’ve split it across multiple notes. We’ll return soon with Part 2, where we’ll dive deeper into our upcoming seasonal content and more.
There are plenty of exciting reveals still to come. As mentioned in our last developer note, we’re also preparing a full update
roadmap—stay tuned!
Our team carefully reviews every piece of feedback shared across all our communities. We’re committed to delivering meaningful improvements and doing everything we can to make your experience in
Game of Thrones: Kingsroad as enjoyable as possible. While some changes may take time, we’ll continue pushing forward—and we appreciate your patience and continued support.
Sincerely,
JANGExecutive Producer, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad
