PlaySide Delays Game of Thrones: War for Westeros to Early 2027

PlaySide says extra development time is needed to meet its quality goals.

Overview

  • The studio confirmed the delay in a Steam development blog that was published on July 19, 2026, moving the game's planned 2026 launch into an early 2027 window.
  • PlaySide said the decision gives the team time to polish core systems so the game reaches the level of quality it aims to deliver.
  • Short gameplay clips released with the update show playable Houses, large maps, heavy cavalry and hero abilities, underscoring the project's real-time strategy focus.
  • Each playable House will include iconic hero units that can level up, unlock new abilities, and bolster nearby troops to influence battles directly.
  • The title is being developed for Windows PC and is watched closely as a chance to deliver a well-regarded Game of Thrones entry after mixed past franchise games, with Warner Bros. continuing to prioritize the IP overall.
