If you thought George R.R. Martin was late with Winds of Winter, you won't be ready for the Game of Thrones mobile spin-off set during a season that aired 10 years ago

The Game Awards 2024 was full of surprises, from our first look at The Witcher 4 to Elden Ring Nightreign, a new co-op spin-off. Among them was also a brand new Game of Thrones game set to release in 2025 – six years after the show wrapped up, 14 years since the latest book, and 11 years since the season it's actually set in.

Titled Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, this is far from the first Game of Thrones game to exist – the series has already seen a strategy game, action RPG, an episodic graphic adventure from Telltale, and more. However, this one dubs itself as a "blockbuster story-driven action-adventure RPG," although like many of the previous game adaptations of the series, it's currently slated for a mobile-only release across Apple and Android devices.

As for what to expect, a blog post from developer Netmarble teases that it'll include "iconic locations throughout the Seven Kingdoms in breathtaking detail and scale, from the opulence of King's Landing to the icy cold of Castle Black," not to mention recognisable faces from the TV show. Notably, the "original storyline expands on that of the legendary TV series," and based on a few clues, with Jon Snow being beyond the wall and Cersei still rocking her long hair, it seems we've gone back in time to a point around season 4 and 5. Season 4 was released in 2014, making the timing of the game feel somewhat odd – why now, after all this time?
