Game of Thrones: War for Westeros Delayed to Early 2027

Game of Thrones: War for Westeros has been delayed from its original 2026 window to early 2027.

PlaySide announces the delay for quality reasons. The studio stated that while development is progressing well, additional time is required to reach the targeted level of quality. "War for Westeros will now launch in early 2027," PlaySide wrote in its development update. The developer added, "We remain unwavering in our mission to deliver a real-time strategy game set in the world of Westeros that meets the expectations of both RTS players and Game of Thrones fans. This decision gives us the time needed to continue building towards that goal and ensure that the game reaches the high level of quality we are aiming for."

The game was first announced last year during Summer Game Fest 2025 and had been scheduled for release at some point in 2026.

New gameplay clips accompany the update. PlaySide shared brief footage showing heroes such as Jon Snow and Tywin Lannister activating powerful abilities that level up and support troops. Unit combat demonstrations include cavalry charges and giants that can decimate squads unless countered by appropriate units.

The clips also highlight faction gameplay and large maps designed to feel grounded in Westeros while remaining readable for army movement and combat.

Ashemark map receives dedicated preview. The studio revealed details on Ashemark, a 1v1 battlefield set in the Westerlands. The map features two open lanes with defensible positions that enable pressure, holding, flanking, and counterattacking. It draws from Robb Stark’s campaign through the Westerlands during the War of the Five Kings and serves as an example of the visual fidelity planned across all maps.

PlaySide has teased more news and updates in the coming weeks, along with exciting reveals later this year. The title remains a PC release.
