Game of Thrones fans have been treated to one of the best years in franchise history, with not one but two modern releases on HBO for the first time ever. The first Game of Thrones show to set the tone in 2026 was A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, starring Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall and Dexter Soll Ansell as his juvenile squire, Aegon Targaryen. The show was renewed for Season 2 months before a single episode of Season 1 hit streaming, and it’s already been confirmed that the show will return to HBO Max in 2027. Game of Thrones fans are currently in the heat of enjoying the third season of House of the Dragon, which is winning over fans after the polarizing Season 2 ending. The show will run for one more season before going off the air forever.

A few weeks ago, more details were revealed about a modern Game of Thrones strategy game, War for Westeros, which is bringing back fan-favorite characters like Jon Snow to rewrite the history of the poorly received series finale. The game will allow players to step into the shoes of characters like Jon Snow and take on The Night King, a confrontation that was set up for years before ultimately being abandoned in the final season.

When it was announced, it was thought that the project would be officially released before the end of 2026, but it was announced over the weekend by the developer Playside that the game will now launch early next year. “We wanted to close with an update for our planned release window,” said Playside. “War for Westeros will now launch in early 2027.”

Which Game of Thrones House Do You Belong To?
Stark · Lannister · Targaryen · Baratheon · Tyrell

01

Someone powerful is acting dishonourably and everyone knows it. What do you do?
In Westeros, the answer to this question has ended more than one great house.





02

What is the source of your power?
Every house endures because of something. What is it for yours?

Who do you truly fight for?
Strip away the banners and the words. The candid answer tells you everything.





04

How do you deal with your enemies?
A house’s method reveals its character as clearly as its words ever could.





05

What kind of ruler do you believe in?
Westeros is full of answers to this question. Most of them end badly.

Every house has a philosophy. This is yours.

The Iron Throne is within reach. What do you do?
The answer reveals not just your ambition — but your character.





The Maester Has Spoken
Your House Is…

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.


Winterfell · The North

🐺 House Stark

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 lead with honour even when it costs you, because you understand that a reputation built on integrity is the only one worth having.
  • Your loyalty to family and people runs deep — not as sentiment but as a code that doesn’t bend when things get complex.
  • The North endures because Starks endure — not by being the cleverest players in the game, but by being the kind of people others are willing to follow into the cool.
  • You are that kind of person. The pack survives. The lone wolf dies. You already know which one you are.


Casterly Rock · The Westerlands

🦁 House Lannister

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 are sharper than most people realise, and you have learned to exploit that gap to your advantage.
  • A Lannister always pays their debts — and you always keep your word, because your word is an instrument of power, and instruments must be kept in working order.
  • You love your family with a ferocity that sometimes blinds you, and you know it, and you do it anyway.
  • The lion doesn’t concern itself with the opinion of sheep. Neither, in the end, do you.


Dragonstone · The Iron Throne

🐉 House Targaryen

You carry a sense of destiny that is complex to explain and impossible to ignore — the feeling that you are not simply participating in the world but meant to reshape it.

  • You are capable of extraordinary things, and you know it, and that knowledge is both your greatest strength and your most threatening quality.
  • Fire and blood are not just words to you — they are a philosophy about what change requires and what it costs.
  • The Targaryens at their best were transformative rulers who broke chains and defied the limits of what anyone thought possible.
  • At your best, so are you. The dragon has three heads. You are one of them.


Storm’s End · The Stormlands

🦌 House Baratheon

You are a force — direct, powerful, and complex to ignore when you enter a room or a conflict. You do not negotiate with challenges. You meet them.

  • Ours is the fury — and yours is a kind of intensity that commands attention, respect, and occasionally fear from those who underestimate what’s behind it.
  • You value strength and straight dealing. You’d rather know where you stand in a fight than navigate a web of courtly whispers.
  • The Baratheons built their house on the back of one of the greatest military victories in Westerosi history — and then struggled with what came after.
  • The lesson of your house is that winning is not the end of the story. Governing is. You are learning that too.


Highgarden · The Reach

🌹 House Tyrell

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.

  • Growing robust is your house’s motto, and you live it: patiently, strategically, always investing in the relationships and resources that will matter most when it counts.
  • You are charming by choice and calculating by nature — a combination that makes you one of the most effective players in any room you enter.
  • The Tyrells fed King’s Landing and shaped its politics without ever sitting on the Iron Throne — and they were arguably more powerful for it.
  • You know that the person who controls the food controls the kingdom. And you always know where the food is.

When Does the ‘Game of Thrones’ Movie Come Out?

Earlier this year, Warner Bros officially confirmed that it’s working on a Game of Thrones movie centered around Aegon’s Conquest, but the film is still in the early stages of development, so it’s unclear at this time when it will be released. Setting the movie during Aegon’s great conquest of Westeros allows for the introduction of one of the deadliest dragons in Game of Thrones history, Balerion the Black Dread. While Balerion wasn’t at his peak size during the conquest, he will still be one of the largest and most formidable dragons ever shown on screen.

Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, which is now launching in early 2027.
