A new Game of Thrones MMO is reportedly in development

Maybe we’ll get another chance to visit our favorite people and places again game of Thrones. This emerges from a new report from Witcher And game of Thrones News site Redanian secret servicewhich claims that an MMORPG is set at the peak of the HBO series is being worked on. We know this.

The report claims that the MMO is currently in development at Nexon. The South Korean publisher is responsible for games such as multiplayer FPS titles THE FINAL, which was developed by subsidiary studio Embark. The report from Redanian secret service

did not contain any information about which studio within Nexon is producing it game of Thrones MMO.

Most intriguing is the game’s supposed setting. Sources claim that the MMO will take place in the middle of the HBO show, specifically between the fourth and fifth seasons. Placing an MMO (that ideally runs for years and has a detailed story) in the middle of a story that’s already happening and that we know is coming to an end sounds like a big challenge to the game’s narrative.

In theory, it’s an understandable decision, but the show ended five years ago, leaving most fans behind disappointed. Either fans will be eager to return to an era of Westeros that isn’t plagued by the series’ ending, or they’ll be too burned by that ending to even care. Only time can tell. For connoisseurs game of Thrones

, the game will take place at a time when Roose Bolton rules the North and Jon Snow still resides on the Wall. This will come into play as the game is apparently set in the North and places like Winterfell and the Wall are featured. However, don’t expect the show’s actors to voice their characters as the report says none of the original cast members are currently involved.

The most important detail we learned from the gameplay report is that players can choose between a male and a female protagonist. Whichever protagonist players don’t choose will still be involved in the game’s story in some way. Maybe it will be handled similarly Mass Effect: Andromeda

The double protagonists. Well, that doesn’t exactly sound like an MMO. Perhaps it’s more of an online single-player game, but the report specifically calls the project an MMORPG.

The report also doesn’t give a timeline for the game, so we don’t know when we can expect it or how long the title has been in development so far. Hopefully it won’t be canceled before it sees the light of day like the last MMO set in Westeros. REST IN PEACE Game of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms.
