Game of Thrones: Winter is Coming is a 2019 massively multiplayer online real-time strategy game (MMORTS) developed and published Yoozoo Games.[3] It is based on the HBO television series Game of Thrones and is licensed by Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment.[4] The game was announced in August 2018, during Gamescom[5] and was released by Yoozoo in March 2019, originally as a browser game.[6][7][8] The Steam version was released in November 2019,[1] and the mobile port was released in July 2020.[2]
The player takes the role of a lord or lady of one of the seven kingdoms of Westeros and progresses by training soldiers, recruiting characters and forming an alliance with other players.[8] In the story's timeline, the game starts after Eddard Stark dies,[9] but as if all seven kingdoms had thereupon seceded, not only the North. In the game, a dragon can be obtained as an egg that can be hatched, and the hatchling can be raised through its juvenile stage to being big enough to be useful in battle and air-search.[10]
