Game of Thrones: War for Westeros – Upcoming RTS Game

A long-awaited addition to the gaming world, a real-time strategy game set in the iconic universe of Westeros is finally in development. Titled Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, this game is being marketed as a “classic, premium” RTS experience for PC players. It will allow gamers to take command of various houses and factions from George R.R. Martin’s renowned fantasy series.

The game is being developed by PlaySide Studios, known for their engaging gameplay experiences. War for Westeros will feature both a single-player campaign and multiplayer options, catering to a wide range of players. Below is the official description of the game:

In War for Westeros, players will lead the armies of House Stark, House Lannister, House Targaryen, or the Night King in ruthless free-for-all battles where trust is fleeting and power is everything. Engaging in epic real-time strategy battles, forging strategic alliances, and weaving deceit against rival forces will be key.

Each faction offers deeply asymmetric strategies, with 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 as they work to outplay and outmaneuver rivals with inspiring hero abilities and the ruthless instincts of a true war commander.

While the realm of Game of Thrones has seen numerous video game adaptations, including titles such as some clever and indie spinoffs, War for Westeros appears to be a fitting expansion for the franchise. The game is set to launch sometime in 2026, promising to deliver an immersive experience for fans and strategy enthusiasts alike.
