War for Westeros real-time strategy game announced

PlaySide is developing War for Westeros, a real-time strategy (RTS) game set in the Game of Thrones universe. Unlike previous fantasy adaptations that often focus on role-playing game (RPG) mechanics, this title opts for the RTS genre to better accommodate the expansive and multi-perspective nature of George R. R. Martin’s lore.

To appeal to both hardcore strategy fans and general Game of Thrones enthusiasts who may be unfamiliar with the genre, developers are prioritizing accessibility. Game director Ryan McMahon stated at gamescom that the goal is to introduce players to the experience through ease of access and comprehensive tutorials rather than oversimplifying the core mechanics of the RTS genre.
