Once upon a bloody, backstabbing time in Westeros, Game of Thrones
ruled not just the Seven Kingdoms but also the television throne. Viewers found themselves bewitched by the cunning of Tyrion Lannister, the valor of Jon Snow, and the volatile reign of Daenerys Targaryen. Despite its contentious finale, fans repeatedly returned to all eight seasons, scavenging for the magic, the madness, and the mayhem. But now, the realm offers something far more immersive than just a rewatch.
Game of Thrones: War for Westeros is arriving to catapult fans into an interactive battle for the Iron Throne.

Games President David Haddad earlier this year, the release stands as one of the first major initiatives to reposition the company’s intellectual properties for core gaming audiences.

, DC Universe, and Mortal Kombat.
