House Stark, House Lannister, House Targaryen, and the Night King’s Army of the Dead will all be playable factions in War for Westeros. Each faction has different playstyles and compelling heroes that impact battle in unique ways.

Jon Snow, for instance, can empower allies around him while charging into the heart of battle. Tywin Lannister, on the other hand, requires tactical positioning and calculated warfare. The developer noted that it’s continuing to tweak units to feel more responsive, along with pathfinding and squad behaviors to make mass battles feel alive.

Rather than micromanaging every individual soldier, you’ll be taking command of squads that autonomously position and attack with your guidance. Battles will also take place across a handful of famous locales from the HBO series.
