2026 has been a big year for Game of Thrones fans, who have been treated to not one, but two official releases from the beloved fantasy franchise. Widely hailed as creator George R.R. Martin’s favorite Game of Thrones project, the first new release of the year came all the way back in January with the premiere of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Consisting of only six thirty-minute episodes, the show felt like classic Game of Thrones scaled down to a much more intimate tale, which worked well enough to score a Season 2 renewal and confirmed 2027 return. Following just a few weeks ago was the highly anticipated third season of House of the Dragon, which is firing on all cylinders through its first three episodes.
Game of Thrones has become so popular now that it’s expanding into other mediums, including video games like Game of Thrones: Dragonfire, which allow fans to live out their wildest fantasies as dragon riders. A new* Game of Thrones* project, Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, was announced last year, and fans are already proclaiming that it will fix the biggest issue from the maligned 2019 series finale. The new strategy game, which is scheduled to be released before the end of 2026, will allow fans to step into the boots of Jon Snow and take on The Night King, the same confrontation the first seven seasons of* Game of Thrones* set up before giving Arya Stark the killing blow in the final season. Fans will have the choice in Game of Thrones: War for Westeros to control whichever great House or army, turning the tide of wars and battles in whichever direction they see fit. The game will launch on PC only.
Your answers point to the great house whose words, values, and way of surviving in Westeros match your own. Bend the knee — or don’t. That’s very much up to you.
Winter is Coming — and you have always known it. You prepare not out of fear but out of duty, because the people who depend on you deserve someone who takes the long view.
You understand the game — its rules, its exceptions, and exactly when the rules become the exception. You play it without illusions and without apology.
You carry a sense of destiny that is difficult to explain and impossible to ignore — the feeling that you are not simply participating in the world but meant to reshape it.
You are a force — direct, powerful, and difficult to ignore when you enter a room or a conflict. You do not negotiate with challenges. You meet them.
You understand that power does not always announce itself — that sometimes it arrives with flowers, good wine, and a smile that doesn’t quite reach the eyes.
It was confirmed earlier this year at CinemaCon that HBO and Warner Bros are working together to develop a* Game of Thrones* feature film. The movie, which is reportedly planned for a theatrical release, will center around Aegon’s conquest of Westeros, meaning it will feature the great dragon, Balerion the Black Dread. The film is still in the early stages of development, so casting has still yet to be announced, but assuming it does overcome the various development hurdles in its path, it likely won’t be released until closer to 2030, possibly even later.
Check out new episodes of House of the Dragon every Sunday night on HBO Max and stay tuned to Collider for more *Game of Thrones *updates and coverage.
