Today at Summer Game Fest 2025, Playside Studios unveiled Game of Thrones: War for Westeros. This is a premium PC real time strategy game set in George R.R. Martin's beloved fantasy setting, and it's something that fans have been waiting a long time for.
Ryan McMahon, Game Director at PlaySide Studios, stated:
Game of Thrones: War for Westeros takes fans back to the Seven Kingdoms. This time, you’re not watching the ‘Game of Thrones’ - you’re playing it. 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.
In Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, players lead the armies of House Stark, House Lannister, House Targaryen, or even the dreadful Night King. They'll engage in epic real-time strategy battles where forming strategic alliances and deceiving rival forces will be key. Each faction offers deeply asymmetric strategies, signature heroes, armies, and mechanics forged from the brutal legacy of Westeros. Players can deploy infantry, cavalry, siege engines, giants, and dragons to break enemy lines, working to outplay and outmaneuver rivals with the help of inspiring hero abilities and the ruthless instincts of a true war commander.
From the Wall to King's Landing, players can jump into skirmish matches or embark on a longer war across the Seven Kingdoms, either alone or with others. Every decision matters, and every battle carries forward. Whether playing alone or with friends, Game of Thrones: War for Westeros aims to give fans the chance to reimagine the most iconic battles and turning points from the series, manipulating the realm's politics to rally powerful bannermen, sway loyalties, and outmanoeuver enemies in a shifting struggle for power.
The game will be released in 2026. Meanwhile, wishlist it on Steam.
