Game of Thrones MMORPG Reportedly in Development at NEXON

A long time ago, an MMORPG called Game of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms was in development at Bigpoint and Artplant. Announced in 2012, it would have been a browser game focused mostly on Player versus Player combat, where players could form their own small houses (guilds, essentially) and align themselves with the Stark, Baratheon, or Lannister great houses. However, the game never saw the light of day.

According to a new report, though, those yearning for a Game of Thrones MMO can rejoice, as NEXON is said to be making one. The news comes from Redanian Intelligence, a fan website created to deliver news about The Witcher’s Netflix show but later expanded to cover other major fantasy shows, such as Lord of the Rings and, of course, Game of Thrones/House of Dragons.

Here are the key details about the upcoming MMO:

Setting: The Game of Thrones MMO is set around the fourth and fifth season of the acclaimed HBO show. Roose Bolton is already Warden of the North, and Jon Snow is still on The Wall with Sam Tarly. The North will be represented, and other kingdoms are possible as well.
Story Campaign: Despite being an online game, there will be a story campaign. Players won’t step into the shoes of a major character; instead, they’ll choose their own male or female protagonist. However, they will encounter the most renowned characters throughout the story.
Voice Cast: Unfortunately, don’t expect the original Game of Thrones voice cast to be featured in the game.
Platform and Mechanics: While we don’t know the exact MMO mechanics or targeted platforms yet, the source is adamant that NEXON is the developer. This rules out any possibility of this being the previously announced Game of Thrones mobile MMORPG still in development at Netmarble.
Long-Awaited Adaptation: It’s been far too long since we got a decent gaming adaptation of G.R.R. Martin’s masterpiece. There were only 2012’s action RPG by Cyanide and then 2014-15’s episodic adventure game by Telltale. Fans of the series have been eagerly waiting for a new and immersive experience set in the Game of Thrones universe.

Stay tuned for more updates on this unannounced Game of Thrones project. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a newcomer to Westeros, this MMO promises to be an exciting addition to the fantasy gaming landscape.
