PlaySide Studios Game of Thrones RTS development

Overview

PlaySide Studios has announced the development of ‘Game of Thrones: War for Westeros’, a real-time strategy (RTS) game officially licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The title is scheduled for a PC release via Steam in early 2027, following a planned beta phase in 2026.

Players will manage one of four asymmetric factions: the Stark, Lannister, Targaryen, or White Walkers. Gameplay will incorporate resource collection, unit training, and base building, alongside unique hero abilities.

To attract both strategy enthusiasts and general fans of the series, developers are focusing on accessibility. Game director Ryan McMahon noted at gamescom that the studio aims to provide ease of access and comprehensive tutorials without oversimplifying the core RTS mechanics.
