Game of Thrones strategy game War for Westeros announced for PC

by

In a new twist, the universe of Game of Thrones is growing further, and it’s not another television spin-off series (rest assured, more are in development).

Rather than that, Warner Bros Interactive and PlaySide Studios are collaborating to present players with a fresh, real-time strategy game on PC, immersed in the fictitious universe of George RR Martin, called “Game of Thrones: Struggle for Westeros.

On June 6th during Summer Game Fest in Los Angeles, the game was officially unveiled with hints that it would take inspiration from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series. It was also announced that the game is expected to launch in the year 2026.

In the game “War for Westeros,” players take control of one of four powerful houses: Stark, Lannister, Targaryen, or the Night King. The objective is to lead your army in intense, unpredictable battles where loyalty shifts rapidly and power is paramount. To succeed, you’ll need to engage in large-scale strategic battles, form strategic alliances, and use cunning deceit against your enemies.

In this game, every group presents unique tactical approaches, characterized by distinctive heroes, troops, and game mechanics that stem from the violent history of Westeros. Players can place units like infantry, cavalry, siege weapons, giants, and dragons to shatter enemy formations while they strive to outsmart and outwit opponents using their hero’s inspiring powers and the cunning tactics of a seasoned war strategist.

You can engage in quick battles or embark on larger wars that span the Seven Kingdoms, either alone or with companions. Every choice you make counts, and each conflict has consequences that ripple through the storyline.

Game of Thrones: War for Westeros allows both individual and group play, offering fans an opportunity to reimagine famous conflicts and crucial moments from the Game of Thrones storyline. They can control the political landscape by gathering influential allies, changing loyalties, and outsmarting adversaries in a dynamic power struggle.

The sneak peek for the game unveils Jon Snow’s demise at the hands of the Night King in combat, followed by him transforming into an undead creature – offering a glimpse into how the plot may evolve as players progress.

Currently, several Game of Thrones TV spin-offs are being worked on at different progress levels, with two already in active production.

As a gaming enthusiast immersed in the world of Westeros, I’m eagerly looking forward to two upcoming TV shows: one is the third season of the captivating prequel series House of the Dragon, while the other is an all-new series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, inspired by George R.R. Martin’s Dunk and Egg novellas.
