Ryan McMahon, the Game Director at Playside Studios, expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating: “Game of Thrones: War for Westeros takes fans back to the Seven Kingdoms. This time, you’re not watching the ‘Game of Thrones’ – you’re playing it. War for Westeros puts you in the seat of power, whether you’re leading the Starks, Targaryens, or Lannisters, or even commanding the Night King and his army of the dead. You’ll wield real power and rewrite the fate of the realm.”
