Summary
Gaming developer PlaySide Studios, in partnership with Warner Bros, has announced the release of a new real-time gaming title, Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, which is based on the medieval fantasy epic Game of Thrones.
Due for release in 2026, the gameplay invites players to participate in battles and alliances, and to disobey the principles of diplomacy as they establish their dominance in the realm.
The game will feature four key factions led by characters from the TV show, including the Night King, and will allow players to “re-envision the most iconic battles and turning points”.
It will be available on PC and offers solo and co-op gameplay options, along with multiplayer functions.
The developers are hoping to capitalise on the popularity of the Game of Thrones IP, leveraging fan sentiment around the controversial ending to the TV show to drive engagement.
