Get Ready to Ascend the Iron Throne in Exciting New Game of Thrones Video Game

TIME - Tech

If, like most Game of Thrones fans, you're still looking for ways to fill the entertainment void until Thrones returns for its final season in 2019, then boy do we have some good news for you. Thanks to developer Nerial and game publisher Devolver Digital, fans will soon be able to sit the Iron Throne in the Tinder-inspired strategy game Reigns: Game of Thrones. In this spinoff of the original Reigns, players can rule Westeros as popular characters like Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, and Cersei Lannister as they swipe left or right to make decisions that will determine their fate as the king or queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Just as is true in the show, all rulers must die. But the game allows for a variety of outcomes that could only take place in alternate Thrones timelines, such as Sansa Stark marrying Jaime Lannister.


HBO announces new Game of Thrones video game

The Guardian

HBO has announced a new Game of Thrones game for smartphones and PC, developed by Nerial, the award-winning studio behind the Reigns series. Reigns: Game of Thrones casts the player as a king or queen trying to avoid rebellions, disastrous wars, assassination or supernatural interference to stay on the throne as long as possible. It's presented as a kind of card game meets Tinder, where underlings ask players to make judgement calls ranging from whom to invite to the ball to whether to suck up to the clergy, or what to do about the enormous dragon descending upon your stronghold. Decisions are taken by swiping left or right. The game explores scenarios for the futures of key characters from the Game of Thrones books and TV show, as prophesied by red priestess Melisandre.
