In the style of many popular fantasy kingdom-builder games for mobile devices, Game of Thrones: Conquest has been created by HBO and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to help fans occupy themselves until the release of the show's eighth season.
In the game, fans will have to challenge themselves to see if they have what it takes to survive in Westeros. Players will have the opportunity to meet characters like John Snow, Daenerys Targaryen and the Lannisters as they make strategic decisions. To begin, players have the chance to rule a house of their choosing, lead armies and take down their enemies. As Game of Thrones: Conquest describes: "Players must defend their houses from each other in player-versus-player battles or form a strategic allegiance as they fight for control of the Seven Kingdoms."
Those who pre-register for the release of the game later this year will be eligible to receive a 'Prepare for War' package that will help them in their quest to win the throne.
