At Summer Game Fest, PlaySide Studios and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have officially announced a new real-time strategy game set in the world of Westeros: Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, launching globally on PC in 2026.
Set in HBO’s Game of Thrones universe, War for Westeros is a premium real-time strategy game (by which I believe they mean it is not a free to play game, as some past licensed strategy games have been). Players will take command of one of several Great Houses—or even the White Walkers— in a bid to claim the Iron Throne.
A cinematic trailer is below, and we have more information and images following:
According to the press release:
In War for Westeros, players will lead the armies of House Stark, House Lannister, House Targaryen, or the Night King in ruthless free-for-all battles where trust is fleeting and power is everything. Engaging in epic real-time strategy battles, forging strategic alliances, and weaving deceit against rival forces will be key. Each faction offers deeply asymmetric strategies, with signature heroes, armies, and mechanics forged from the brutal legacy of Westeros.
Players can deploy infantry, cavalry, siege engines, giants, and dragons to break enemy lines as they work to outplay and outmaneuver rivals with inspiring hero abilities and the ruthless instincts of a true war commander.
From the Wall to King’s Landing, players can jump into skirmish matches or take on a longer war across the Seven Kingdoms—both solo and with others—where every decision matters and every battle carries forward. Whether playing solo or with friends, Game of Thrones: War for Westeros will give fans the chance to re-envision the most iconic battles and turning points from the Game of Thrones series, manipulating the politics of the realm to rally powerful bannermen, sway loyalties, and outmaneuver enemies in a shifting struggle for power.
Game of Thrones: War for Westeros is expected to launch worldwide in 2026. To follow updates, visit the official site or join the conversation on Facebook/a>, X/Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
What seems to be a representation of Winterfell in the game. Jon Snow and Ghost figures can be seen, suggesting that there are “hero” characters in this RTS, which fits the cinematic.
It looks like Drogon will be available for use in the game. Very curious to see how they balance it.

Again we see Jon Snow, and also Jaime Lannister, further supporting the presence of hero characters.
