PlaySide Studios shared an update on the development on Game of Thrones: War for Westeros and announced the game will be launching in early 2027. The developer has said development has been progressing well and shared more information on its Factions, Combat and Units, and more.
Factions & Heroes
In War for Westeros, you can lead House Stark, House Lannister, House Targaryen, or even the Night King’s Army of the Dead, to lay claim on the Iron Throne. Each House features iconic heroes who have the ability to turn the tide of battle, with the capacity to level up, unlock new abilities, and bolster their surrounding armies. Effective management of them is key to continued success in skirmishes.
Combat & Units
The developer has said it is placing emphasis on responsiveness, unit behavior, and physical impact. Ensuring that unit pathing and engagement feels exactly right requires extensive, iterative work, but it is important to ensure that players feel the weight of their actions on the battlefield.
Maps
In the Skirmish battles it will take you across the regions of Westeros, from locations like King’s Landing and The Wall, to battlefields inspired by the many kingdoms castles, and contested lands within the continent.
