A brand-new game is coming out based on George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire universe, and surprisingly, it's a full-fledged real-time strategy game for PC. Titled Game of Thrones: War For Westeros, the new title was revealed at the Summer Game Fest 2025 kickoff show today.
Check out the debut trailer below, which features plenty of familiar faces from the television series, as well as fights that many probably wished they saw in the story. It looks like players' actions will have some major deviations from how the storyline actually played out in the series, with major characters dying, switching sides, and having massive wars against each other. Unfortunately, no gameplay was revealed in the trailer.
War of Westeros is being developed by PlaySide, which may be familiar to those who have played their previous real-time strategy experience, Age of Darkness: Final Stand.
The studio said today that its new project will offer players House Stark, House Lannister, House Targaryen, or even the Night King's forces as factions they can take the role of in their journey. "
Each faction offers deeply asymmetric strategies, with signature heroes, armies, and mechanics forged from the brutal legacy of Westeros," adds the company.
Infantry, cavalry, siege engines, giants, and dragons will all be available for deployment during battles, both when attacking other factions and when defending. The title will be playable solo to take over the Seven Kingdoms, as well as in multiplayer, where a free-for-all mode will enable multiple players to lead forces against each other for victory.
Game of Thrones: War for Westeros is currently only announced for PC, with a Steam page already available for fans to wishlist. A release date, nor pricing, has not been revealed just yet, with the title slated to launch sometime in 2026.
