PlaySide announces War for Westeros, a Game of Thrones RTS

PlaySide Studios and Warner Bros announced Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, a real-time strategy title based on the well-known fantasy IP from George R. R. Martin. As the title suggests, the game is set in the world of Westeros, and players take control of various factions, including Houses Stark, Lannister and Targaryen and the enemy faction the White Walkers. War for Westeros launches globally on PC in 2026.

Players deploy their factions in free-for-all battles supplemented by diplomacy, alliances and deception. Each faction comes with its own heroes and strategic powers, presumably including familiar faces from the books and show adaptation — the Night King, Jon Snow, Jaime Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen’s dragons feature in the cinematic trailer. The game includes skirmish matches as well as a grander war that can be played alone or in co-op.
