Warner Bros. Games and HBO have released a new Game of Thrones game. Game of Thrones: Dragonfire is a free-to-play mobile game based on the prequel series House of the Dragon.
A strategy game set 172 years before Daenerys Targaryen was born, Dragonfire is developed by Warner Bros. Games Boston and takes inspiration from events from the TV series. You play as a Valyrian descendant who has to hatch, raise, and fly dragons in battle to dominate Westeros.
The game features familiar characters from the show–including Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower–as well as original characters created for the game, and like the show, players need to strategize and form alliances to come out on top.
Check out a new “Let’s Play” video for the game below, featuring Lord Corlys Velaryon actor Steve Toussaint.
Dragonfire lets players journey through “campaigns,” which are described as “epic scenarios” that last around eight weeks, with different objectives and story moments in each. Each stage of a campaign only lasts for a set time, so players are driven to stay engaged. Each campaign has specific goals that players can strive for to get more powerful dragons to help in future, more challenging campaigns.
You can read more about Dragonfire on its website. It’s just the latest Game of Thrones game for mobile, following Game of Thrones: Conquest.
“We’re thrilled to bring Game of Thrones: Dragonfire to mobile players with an immersive strategy experience that is very authentic to House of the Dragon,” said JB Perrette, CEO and President, Global Streaming and Games, Warner Bros. Discovery. “Our Warner Bros. Boston team did an amazing job creating a game true to the Game of Thrones world for fans, inviting them to build their legacy, forge alliances, and define their own battle for Westeros.”
Game of Thrones is one of four major pillars that WB Games is focusing on going forward, the others behind DC, Harry Potter, and Mortal Kombat. WB Games parent company Warner Bros. Discovery has entered into a deal to be acquired by Paramount, and the acquisition is said to close this year. It remains to be seen what changes, if any, are planned for WB Games as a result of the buyout.
