Game of Thrones: War for Westeros will be revealed live at Gamescom Opening Night Live on 25 August 2026, according to a June press release from Playside Studios.
Gameplay teaser drops early
The developer posted a brief clip on X that shows a Lannister army waving banners across the battlefield while a dragon—its appearance close to Drogon—engages Targaryen forces.
Factions that will dominate the map
Players are set to control units from House Stark, House Lannister, House Targaryen and the Night King, each featuring distinct heroes and special abilities.
Development timeline and background
After its Summer Game Fest 2025 announcement and an initial 2026 release plan, the game was delayed to 2027 because of development hurdles. Playside’s prior RTS, Age of Darkness: Final Stand, received mixed Steam reviews, casting doubt on the current title’s prospects.
What to expect at Gamescom
The full gameplay reveal on 25 August will showcase more of Westeros’ iconic factions in action. Fans can catch the event live and follow Playside’s updates on X.
