Game of Thrones RTS War for Westeros just got a first gameplay trailer confirming some familiar faces

The highly anticipated real-time strategy game War for Westeros has unveiled its debut gameplay trailer, confirming the presence of several familiar characters from the Game of Thrones series. Developed by PlaySide, the game promises intense, unforgiving battles where trust is scarce and power reigns supreme. Players can choose to lead one of four factions - House Stark, House Lannister, House Targaryen, or the White Walkers, each with their own unique abilities and strategies.

The trailer showcases iconic figures such as Robb Stark, Jon Snow, Ghost, Grey Wind, Jaime Lannister, Tywin Lannister, Daenerys Targaryen, and the Night King, all ready to be controlled by players. Each faction offers distinct advantages, including unique armies, buildings, mechanics, and playstyles that are reflective of their origins within the Game of Thrones universe.

Success in the game demands players to assume the role of a commander, making critical decisions related to training units, securing resources, constructing buildings, and capturing territory from enemies. The game's asymmetric gameplay ensures that each faction presents a different experience, requiring players to adapt and utilize the strengths of their chosen faction to outplay and defeat their opponents.

Originally slated for an early 2023 release, War for Westeros was delayed to ensure the highest quality standards were met. The game is now set to be available on Steam in the early part of next year, with an upcoming beta testing phase, though specific details regarding the beta have not been disclosed yet.
