Game of Thrones: War for Westeros is a new real-time strategy game announced during tonight’s Summer Game Fest announcement show. As Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) narrate events, we see the Night King claim Jon Snow (with the likeness of Kit Harrington) for himself. It’s probably fine, he’s died at least once already.
War for Westeros lets you command four factions — House Stark, House Lannister, House Targaryen or the Night King — to forge alliances or deceive enemies (and friends) as you wage war with familiar heroes and armies.
Set across Westeros, from the northern Wall to King’s Landing, you can either play solo or in real-time multiplayer.
“This time, you’re not watching the Game of Thrones – you’re playing it,” said game director Ryan McMahon in a statement today. “War for Westeros puts you in the seat of power, whether you’re leading the Starks, Targaryens, or Lannisters, or even commanding the Night King and his army of the dead, you’ll wield real power and rewrite the fate of the realm.”
It is coming to PC, released in 2026.
