Game Of Thrones MMO Reportedly In Development, Set In The North
29.04.2024 - 12:57 / thegamer.com
A Game of Thrones MMORPG is reportedly in development, handled by Korean publisher Nexon. The game is said to take place midway through the TV show, between Seasons 4 and 5, and will focus on the North and the Wall.
This is according to a report from Redanian Intelligence (as spotted by Eurogamer), a news site with a focus on The Witcher, Game of Thrones, and other fantasy media. The site claims that players will meet characters like Roose Bolton, Jon Snow, and Sam Tarly as part of the Northern storyline, but the original cast from the HBO show will not reprise their roles.
As for the player character, right now the only choice the report mentions is that we can play as a man or a woman. The option we don't choose will still be a character in the story, just not controlled by us. And while the game is said to have a story mode, it will be online too, suggesting we'll interact with other players.
While the North is the only part of the seven kingdoms mentioned here, Redanian Intelligence adds that this doesn't mean the others won't be in the game. So, we might be able to pledge our allegiances to the houses in the South too, since there was conflict throughout Westeros at this point in the show.
No other kingdoms are mentioned, but it would be strange for a Game of Thrones MMO to not include iconic areas like Kings Landing, or feature fan favourite character, Daenerys. With that said, the latter will still be in Essos at this point in the story, so if she's included in the main narrative, that would be a huge map for the developers to create.
There's no mention of how the choices we make will affect the overall story, but who knows? Maybe we'll be able to off the main characters and make our own ending.
Game of Thrones has received video game spin-offs before, but none have been overwhelming successes. Two games were cancelled; the second season of the Game of Thrones Telltale series, and another MMORPG called Game of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms.
Most recently, Game of Thrones' video game offerings have been limited to Arya Starks inclusion in MultiVersus. There were rumours that Daenerys would be added too, but voice lines associated with her were removed from the game. Still, with MultiVersus making its grand return soon, the platform fighter could get more Game of Thrones characters further down the line.

Shockingly great soulslike Lies Of P is due a DLC by the end of the year
Our Edders, the RPSer I’d most trust to help me gank a rival covenant member with hammers, reckoned Pinocchio soulslike Lies Of P was an “instant must-play” in his review, and I was pretty fond of it myself. We already know that we’re due a sequel at some point the future, thanks to impressive sales. Director Jiwon Choi previously teased some DLC concept art, and now it looks like we’ll be seeing that DLC by the time the year’s out, according to a fiscal report.

Apple Vision Pro 2 Rumored To Start From $1,500, With Samsung And Chinese Display Supplier SeeYa Possibly Entering The Supply Chain To Lower Costs
The ‘less than stellar’ demand for the Apple Vision Pro has caused shipment estimates to drop to 400,000 to 450,000 units for 2024, a massive drop compared to the previous 800,000 estimates. Consumers are discouraged from making the AR headset their daily driver thanks to its ludicrous starting price of $3,499, and even though Apple intends to launch the device overseas, its ‘expensive’ problem is yet to be addressed. Fortunately, the company might overcome this hurdle with the Apple Vision Pro 2, with a rumor claiming that the successor will have a starting price of $1,500 and will add two new suppliers, Samsung and SeeYa, to the list.

Samsung Rumored To Bring ‘Battery AI’ To Its Galaxy S25 Series, Boosting The Total Backup By Up To 10 Percent At The Same Performance Level
The Galaxy S24 lineup was introduced with Samsung’s first AI-powered software suite called Galaxy AI. Given that the new models accounted for 53 percent of the Korean giant’s Q1 2024 operating profit, many would conclude that these features would be one reason for their popularity. Unfortunately, based on a separate rumor, the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra will disappoint in the battery department, as it sticks with the same 5,000mAh battery as previous-generation models. However, Samsung intends to raise that backup by up to 10 percent with something called ‘Battery AI.’

Game of Thrones reportedly has an MMO in the works, nearly a decade after the last one was cancelled
It’s been five years since Game of Thrones ended and a good while since we had a decent video game based on George RR Martin’s fantasy writings that aren’t Elden Ring lore. Yet it seems that Game of Thrones’ cultural cachet still has enough draw to inspire new games of its own. And not just an arguably underrated-if-also-not-particularly-great action-adventure RPG or fairly okay Telltale adventure game, either, but a whole honest-to-goodness Game of Thrones MMO currently in development, according to new rumours.
