Unveiling the North: Game of Thrones Online Multiplayer Game in Development

An online multiplayer game situated in the universe of Game of Thrones, bridging Seasons 4 and 5, is currently under development, as revealed by a prominent journalist within The Witcher community.

The development of an online multiplayer experience anchored in the lore of the acclaimed series is being discussed.

This information has emerged from Redanian Intelligence, a website renowned for its dependable dispatches on The Witcher series. Recently, it has broadened its scope to include other fantasy realms, delving into Lord of the Rings and various Game of Thrones derivatives such as House of the Dragon and The Hedge Knight.

The disclosure specifies that the MMO, focusing on Westeros's northern territories, enjoys the support of the influential publisher Nexon. Targeting a narrative nestled between the occurrences of Seasons 4 and 5 of the renowned HBO series, it positions Roose Bolton as the North's overseer and Jon Snow at The Wall. Despite this, the original cast from the show will not reprise their roles, with characters instead being portrayed by similar-sounding actors.

The game will provide the opportunity for players to progress through the plot as either a male or female protagonist, while the non-selected character will still play an important part in the story, similar to the protagonist choice mechanism found in Mass Effect Andromeda. Details beyond this remain scant, leaving the gaming community in anticipation of its release date.

Having cemented its reputation for reliable Witcher content, Redanian Intelligence's foray into the Game of Thrones universe marks a significant expansion of its reporting domain. Although the venture into Game of Thrones and its extended universe confers a degree of credibility, the scarcity of confirmable details surrounding the MMO renders any assurance of its fruition tenuous. Nonetheless, the game's prospective setting offers a tantalizing glimpse into what might be, even as the wait for official news continues.

While video game adaptations of Game of Thrones have faced challenges in the past, the Lord of the Rings franchise seems to be on a more favorable trajectory, with the eagerly awaited Tales of the Shire slated for release later in the year.
