Summary
The Finalsdeveloper Nexon is reportedly working on a new game based onGame of Thrones. Nexon saw a lot of success with the release ofThe Finalslast December, and it seems like the developer is looking to replicate this with the popular book franchise and HBO show.
Game of Throneshas had a number of video game adaptationsin the past, but most had mixed reviews from fans and critics.Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Seriesshowed a lot of promise, but it was canceled after one season when Telltale Games closed (and eventually reopened) in 2018. Meanwhile, one of the highest-ratedGame of Thronestitles with an 84% Metacritic score isReigns: Game of Thrones, which is a strategy game with a swiping mechanic similar to a dating app.
According to a report byRedanian Intelligence, Nexon is reportedly working on a newGame of ThronesMMORPG. The still-untitled project is said to be an online game, which is similar toDiablo Immortal’s format. The report also claims that players can choose between male and female characters, which may mean they’ll play customized characters and not as one of the originalGame of Thronescharacters.
Rumored Developer
Nexon
The story of Nexon’sGame of ThronesMMORPG is still unknown, but the report states that it will be set in the North, withWinterfell and The Wallas the main settings, and the timeline will be betweenSeasons 4 and 5. It adds that other kingdoms will be featured as well, but there’s no information about them yet. Nexon has yet to confirm the existence of theGame of ThronesMMORPG,so fans should take this with a grain of salt for now.
SomeGame of Thronesfans seem excited about the idea of aGame of ThronesMMORPG, with one saying that the franchise deserves aThe Witcher-style story and gameplay. Meanwhile, others said they’re skeptical about the quality of the rumored game, especially with the reputation of MMORPGs being microtransaction-heavy.
Nexon is known for developing thepopular MMORPGMapleStory, so it wouldn’t be surprising that it would be delving into this genre for the rumoredGame of Thronestitle. Its vast universe would give the MMORPG a lot of content to pull from, but it might also become too overwhelming in the long run.
