Overview
- The gameplay trailer, which debuted Tuesday at Gamescom Opening Night Live, shows PlaySide’s War for Westeros in action and confirms four playable factions: House Stark, House Lannister, House Targaryen, and the White Walkers.
- Named hero units shown include Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, Jaime Lannister, Robb Stark, Tywin Lannister, and the Night King and each hero has unique abilities that can shift battles.
- PlaySide says core RTS systems center on training units, gathering resources, building structures, and claiming territory, with each faction offering asymmetric mechanics and faction-specific armies and buildings.
- Armies will mix conventional forces—infantry, cavalry, siege engines—with fantastical units such as dragons, giants, wights, and direwolves, and the game will include both a single-player campaign and online multiplayer.
- The game is officially licensed by Warner Bros. on behalf of HBO and will use actor likenesses from the series; PlaySide delayed the release from 2026 to early 2027 for quality work and has left beta access details, system requirements, pricing, and non‑PC platform plans to be announced.
