Finally, Game of Thrones would be entitled to a new game. It must be admitted that the universe has not had much success at this level despite the many possibilities.
Fans of the world of Game of Thrones and the literary saga A Song of Ice and Fire will soon be able to discover a promising new video game. It must be admitted that video games on the subject are ultimately very numerous. And that the license deserved this given its enormous success. This is what we can learn about it. It’s promising! But be careful, nothing is official yet.
A Game of Thrones MMORPG
According to the site redanianintelligence, the development of an MMORPG based on this famous franchise is apparently underway, signed by Nexon, a video game developer which has recently gained fame with titles like The Finals and Warhaven. The game, whose title remains to be confirmed, will immerse players in the northern regions of the Westeros universe, with iconic locations such as Winterfell and the Wall. The game’s timeline is set around seasons 4 and 5 of the television series, a period where Roose Bolton reigns as Guardian of the North and Jon Snow and Sam Tarly are stationed on the Wall. Although expansions to other realms are possible, early information focuses primarily on the North.
One of the particularities of this new MMORPG is its approach to the characters. Players will have the opportunity to meet well-known figures from the saga, although the original actors of the HBO series will not lend their voices to the characters. Instead, a new voice cast will attempt to recreate the series’ unique atmosphere, adding an additional challenge to the game’s production.
A long wait
The proposed gameplay will allow players to choose between a male or female protagonist, with the unchosen character still playing a key role in the plot, reminiscent of the dynamic observed in Mass Effect: Andromeda. Although details are still sketchy, the game appears to be moving towards a structure similar to that of The Elder Scrolls Online, combining a narrative campaign with a persistent online environment. As video game development is a long and complex process, no specific release date has been announced. Estimates vary between 2025 and 2026, or even later, which requires some patience on the part of fans.
This is not the first attempt to develop an MMORPG based on Game of Thrones. Ten years ago, a project called Game of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms was launched but was ultimately canceled. Fans therefore hope that this new project will result in an immersive experience. Without cancellation.
