Command epic forces in real-time battles with the first gameplay for Game of Thrones: War for Westeros
You decide who sits on the Iron Throne when this action RTS launches in early 2027
The Iron Throne stands empty, and if you want to fill it then you'll need to conquer the Seven Kingdoms to decide the fate of the realm. During the Future Games Show Best of gamescom we got a first look at the action, thanks to a brand new gameplay reveal trailer.
Wishlist Game of Thrones: War of Westeros on Steam now!
Release date: TBC
A classic real-time strategy game set in the world of Game of Thrones' Westeros. Take command of the Great Houses, rally iconic heroes from the GOT world, and rewrite the fate of the realm.
This is the first time that War for Westeros gameplay has been shown, but you can already get a feel for the epic scale of the real-time battles you'll be directing. Soldiers, horses, dragons, and other creatures face off in bloody combat, as you attempt to capture outposts and claim territories while building cities strong enough to repel attacks. Taking on the role of a commander, it will be down to you to train units and secure resources, while making the right tactical decisions to continue your conquest.
There are plenty of different factions to lead, with iconic playable heroes to recruit and fight for you including Robb Stark, Jon Snow, Ghost, Grey Wind, Jaime Lannister, Tywin Lannister, Daenerys Targaryen, and (as seen at the end of the trailer) even the Night King himself! Each of these has their own unique abilities that can shift the battle in your favor, so adapt your playstyle accordingly to eliminate your enemies and take your rightful place on the throne.
Game of Thrones: War for Westeros is set to release for PC via Steam in early 2027, so until then you can wishlist it on Steam then follow on X and Facebook to keep up to date with the latest news, or sign up to the official newsletter for details on how to take part in the upcoming beta.
