True to the nature of RTS games, you’ll have to carefully manage your resources and build different types of structures that allow the creation of various units.

The Game of Thrones spin comes in the form of the armies and units you get to control, as the trailer showcases players taking control of the Starks, the Lannisters, and even a brief but very impactful glimpse of Daenerys Targaryen’s army—which includes massive, match-changing dragons.

If done properly, the possibilities for War for Westeros in terms of the armies it can include and the units we can control are nigh endless. That alone has me excited for it.

You can sign up for the Game of Thrones: War for Westeros beta by heading over to the game’s official site. If you want to get as excited as I am, check out the trailer below.

The game is set to come out on PC in early 2027.
