Two highly recognizable names from Westeros are heading back to our lives in 2027, though this time you won’t be watching them from your couch. Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, PlaySide’s upcoming real-time strategy game, will have both The Mountain and Arya Stark in its hero lineup, which means you get to command them yourself instead of just wincing at whatever they do on screen.
According to its Steam page, Game of Thrones: War for Westeros will be a classic real-time strategy game set across the Seven Kingdoms, where you can play a solo campaign to conquer the realm or jump into multiplayer skirmish matches and fight other players for the Iron Throne. You can also lead the Great Houses, build up your forces, and rely on a handful of well-known heroes to tip battles in your favor. PlaySide is handling both development and publishing, listing the game for a 2027 release.
The pairing of The Mountain and Arya Stark brings back plenty of memories, but it also feels like a smart choice for a strategy game like Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, because they sit at opposite ends of what a hero can be...
