Game of Thrones: War for Westeros Delayed to 2027
Fans of the Game of Thrones franchise will have to wait a little longer to march their armies across Westeros. PlaySide Studios has announced that its highly anticipated RTS title, Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, has been pushed back to early 2027. The delay was confirmed by the developer, who cited the need to "ensure the game reaches the high level of quality we are aiming for" as the driving reason behind the decision.
The news adds yet another high-profile title to what is shaping up to be a packed 2027 release schedule. While disappointing for eager fans, many in the gaming community are cautiously optimistic that the extra development time will allow PlaySide Studios to deliver a game worthy of the beloved, if complicated, franchise. The Game of Thrones IP has had a rocky history with video game adaptations, making the stakes particularly high for War for Westeros to get things right.
