Game of Thrones: ‘Kingsroad Global Update’ Guide: Rewards and Account Changes
Game of Thrones: Kingsroad’s global release date is set for October 14, 2026. The game’s previously region-locked services will now be united through this global content-alignment version. What existing players want to know most, practically speaking, is: What happens to your current account, how do you claim transition rewards and what deadlines still apply?
Netmarble’s statements about the transition to have the players go into an aligned version of the game, while signing in their eligible progress and purchase history from the Western service. It’s not the same rewards system for everyone. Growth rewards are tied to Momentum of the designated main character whereas purchase history rewards have their own separate eligibility criteria.
There is a critical distinction between getting ready for the transition and being expected to wipe. The publisher has stated that Western-server players can remain on their current service, while those who wish to start anew in the global version hop through this process.
Check to see if there have been any recent in-game or official announcements before you select a server or account. This guide covers the key decisions and checks before you launch, how rewards are calculated, and what to do if your rewards are missing.
The cutoff for Momentum rewards is already closed. Any progress after October 6th won’t increase the tier utilized for this transition reward calculation. That’s unlike the normal gameplay progression: you cut off to decide which transition package you get, not whether you can continue playing.
The game is scheduled for release on October 14 according to Netmarble but maintenance schedules and service availability may affect when exactly you can go in. Use the published date as a guideline for the release, and monitor the latest battle notice if you don’t access the game right away when maintenance is finished.
What is Changing in the Global Version?
The key change is service integration. Previously, Kingsroad had separate Asia and Western releases, with differing content and service across regional versions. Netmarble stated that the services would be merged around the Asia build so that the team can concentrate on a united update trajectory, rather than splitting up the same content.
That’s bigger than just a login event, but they are not to be taken for ever part of the game has been re-done affirmations. Transition posts are about service alignment, player rewards, accounts, and shop changes. Consider each mechanics patch in isolation and don’t assume they’ll globally from the word “global”.

Your Account and Character: Confirm the account you are using and whether it is linked to a Netmarble Account.
Your transition rewards: Eligible rewards are based on your qualifying progression and purchase history, with unique formulas for each.
Your Choice of Where To Play: See the sever selection rules here before you enter the global version. Don’t assume that pre-registering will automatically transfer every bit of your existing experience.
The purpose of the transition-bonus system is to provide resources for a new journey for eligible players. But it is not to be seen as the promise that every item, every character detail, every regional reward will remain unchanged.
How to Claim Your Transition Rewards
Instructions from Netmarble are simple for Western players that are eligible. The point is to log into the right account, and then check your in-game mailbox once you get on the global version.
Step 1: Verify your Netmarble Account link
Check pre-registration if you have a Western account linked with your Netmarble Account. This is the biggest thing you can do to prepare for it, the publisher says the automatic distribution of rewards is contingent on account linking.
If you regularly log in via Steam, Epic Games, or any other supported log-in methods, do not just assume together account because it has the same showing name. Confirm the account association in game or via the official account link process.
Alternative account or play as guest account may cause the system unable to recognize the eligible Western account properly.
Step 2: Log on to the global version with the same account
When the global content-alignment version is released on October 14, log in with the account that you used on the Western server that has your save data.
Publisher instructions say that eligible players won’t have to go through a separate application process to acquire the announced transition rewards. Tools such as pre-registration and reward look-up are helpful for preparing, but published FAQ states that pre-registration is not necessary in order to receive the Momentum and Purchase History rewards with which to start the global version having the right account.
That doesn’t make account verification optional. The reward redemption process is still decentralised by the account and eligibility.
Step 3: Collect your prizes in the game
After logging in, check your mailbox and claim your transition rewards. The reward package might include character directly distributed items, Talents Tokens used in a dedicated store or items.
Don’t expect every prize to be like a regular inventory item. Some supplies arrive at that moment, while others, the account level growth rewards, turn into a separate currency for the global version.
Step 4: Examine the rewards before spending tokens
If you have Inheritance Tokens in your mailbox, you can visit the Inheritance Token shop and browse the items and their account purchase limits. The special shop will be open until March 30, 2027 at 23:59 UTC.
You have longer to use the tokens than to claim the first reward, but the shop has a hard close date. Tokens expire at the end of the availability period, so keeping them indefinitely is not a safe play.
What are the rewards?
Growth rewards are Netmarble’s to two simple categories and are broken up.
Character-specific growth items are directly given out. Examples of announced gear are equipment, jewellery, amulets and materials for slot upgrades.
Account-wide growth resources are converted into Inheritance Tokens that can be spent in a special shop. Things like House Sigils, Artifacts, Estate Management items and currencies like Copper.
This differentiation is also the reason for why every reward will not always be just a item on your character. Some things are directly provided, others needs to be purchased in the token exchange shop with the tokens.
Check your mail, inventory, and token balance once you redeem the bundle. The other way around is looking in the wrong place for stuff part of the reward seems to be missing when it was delivered by another method.
Rewards From Purchase History Are Separate
The transition incentives do not solely depend on momentum. Netmarble has also announced rewards based on purchase history for the Western service.
These incentives have different eligibility and calculation criteria. Your Momentum tier doesn’t indicate the amount of purchase-history rewards you get, so have a look at the official reward lookup for your account details.
Things to remember:
Progression rewards and purchase history rewards are two different things.
It’s for eligible players to verify their transition details.
The automatic distribution of rewards requires a connected Netmarble Account.
If the purchase details displayed seem inaccurate, please refer to the official transition instructions of the publisher and its support for the reward instead of trying your own estimation.
The reward check service will be available until December 31, 2026. Review the information before that cutoff, especially if you’ve made purchases in the Western service and want to make sure they’re recognizing your account.
Inheritance Tokens: What Should You Spend Them On?
Inheritance Token is for a shop that will be in the global version. They are not just another currency that can be spent in every aspect of Kingsroad.
The special store will activate after the maintenance on October 14 and expire on Mar. 30, 2027, 23:59 (UTC). Netmarble has said that there will also be account-level purchase limits.
The Shop includes a variety of growth related items, some tied to House Sigils and Artifacts. What the best purchase is for you will depend on how far along your account is and what trade options you are presented with when the shop goes live.
A good general policy is to:
Pick up your transition package and check your token balance.
Take a look at every shop item and the price in tokens.
Focus on resources that meet actual progression needs for your character.
Verify any purchase limit associated with your account before making plans for multiple orders.
Use all your tokens before closing the store.
Please do not confuse the deadline for the token-shop with the deadline to claim your OG transition rewards. The initial claim window closes in December 2026, while the special store is due to stay open until March 2027.
What Happens to Western Servers and Existing Progress?
Many current players are wondering whether the global update means they have to leave their existing server.
Netmarble has described two options: players can stay on the Western server, or they can begin anew in the global version, where the content is aligned across regions. Current Western players can continue using their existing service. Those who choose to move to the global version can follow the official transfer steps and claim any rewards they qualify for.
Keep in mind that transition rewards do not necessarily mean every character detail, item, or regional feature will carry over exactly as it is. The rewards are intended to recognize eligible progress and provide resources for the global version.
Before choosing, think about what matters most to you:
– Want to keep your current character? Check the latest Western-server notice and review your options before making a move.
– Planning to play the global version? Make sure your account is linked correctly, then follow the publisher’s login and mailbox instructions.
– Have more than one account? Check which one holds your eligible Western progress. Matching display names don’t confirm that accounts are linked.
– Mainly interested in transition rewards? Read the official reward details before deciding where to play.
To avoid problems, confirm your account information and read the latest official server instructions before taking action.
Common Pitfalls to Steer Clear Of
Using the incorrect account: Make sure you know which account has your Western-server progress, and make sure that the right Netmarble Account linkage is in place.
Don’t expect post cut-off points to increase your tier: Any cricentum after 6 October 2026, 03:00 (UTC) will no longer increase the tier of your transition reward.
Believe all players get the same in their package: Momentum rewards depend on tier and purchase history rewards are different.
Just checking your storage: A portion of resources were sent outright, while account level growth rewards employ Inheritance Tokens. Also, check your mailbox and token balance.
Don’t procrastinate: There is a window when you can claim the transition reward and use the reward finder service will not be available after 31st December 2026. Investigate missing rewards well ahead of then.
Not mentioning the Inheritance Token deadline: The specialized shop is to be closed at on 30 March, 2027, 23:59 UTC. After the expiry of the shop’s duration of availability, tokens will no longer be availabe.
Don’t assume that global alignment confirms new gameplay features: Service alignment does not automatically confirm specific new quests, character modifications or balance updates. See also separate patch notes for gameplay changes.
