Stop waiting for the Game of Thrones CRPG of your dreams and settle for the pleasant eurojank compromise instead

Warhorse Studios, known for its medieval simulations, was considered a candidate to develop a Game of Thrones CRPG, but its parent company Embracer shifted focus to Middle-earth Enterprises, affecting Warhorse's future. Obsidian, another RPG developer, is unlikely to create a Game of Thrones game due to Josh Sawyer's criticisms of HBO's adaptations. In 2012, Cyanide developed a Game of Thrones game that struggled for identity, coinciding with Telltale Games' release of a similar title. Cyanide, recognized for other games like Styx and Blood Bowl, also released Confrontation and Of Orcs and Men during this period. The narrative of Game of Thrones: Kingsroad deviated from George R.R. Martin's storytelling style, lacking the complexity and weight characteristic of the source material.

PlayerUnknown’s new survival game already has three DLCs planned, but won’t include one fan-favourite idea: ‘I think the weather is sufficiently worrying at this stage’

In early 2025, the survival game Prologue: Go Wayback! was released, prompting discussions about the potential inclusion of wildlife to enhance immersion. Brendan Greene, the game's creator, acknowledged the technical feasibility of adding animals but highlighted the complexities of developing realistic AI for them. He indicated that if animals were introduced, players would need means to defend against them. Greene expressed a desire to focus on creating a more complete world with features like paths and power lines, rather than immediate wildlife additions. He also mentioned the potential for underground areas as a future DLC feature, aiming to enrich the game's atmosphere. Since its early access launch, Prologue has received updates, including new features and modes, with plans for three DLCs to introduce new story elements. Future updates may include multiplayer functionality, particularly in the third DLC, which Greene noted is highly requested. He emphasized the need for a more structured environment to transition out of Early Access, focusing on visual and optimization improvements.
