The Game of Thrones RTS has been delayed.
Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, announced last year for a 2026 release, is now set to launch in early 2027.
“We remain unwavering in our mission to deliver a real-time strategy game set in the world of Westeros that meets the expectations of both RTS players and Game of Thrones fans,” says developer PlaySide. “This decision gives us the time needed to continue building towards that goal and ensure that the game reaches the high level of quality we are aiming for.”

A dragon queen of the seven kingdoms.
Though HBO still hasn’t announced a firm release date for House of the Dragon’s upcoming third season, there’s a new trailer teasing out Rhaenyra’s plan to make her enemies pay using her squad of newly-tamed dragons. The new season drops some time in June.

“I’m so far behind on everything.”
That’s George R.R. Martin, in a big profile published by The Hollywood Reporter. Relatable.
The piece also details new work being done on a potential Game of Thrones sequel series featuring Jon Snow; Arya Stark might be in it, too. But that show is in “very early development,” THR says.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has been delayed.
The next Game of Thrones spinoff is now coming out in 2026 instead of 2025, Variety reports. HBO content chairman and CEO Casey Bloys apparently said at an event that it would come out in “winter,” though, so seems like it will be an early 2026 debut.

A Game of Thrones movie is in development.
Warner Bros. is apparently in the early stages of developing a Game of Thrones movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter. I can’t say I’m surprised — add it to the list of other Game of Thrones spin-offs, which include House of the Dragon and the forthcoming A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

Westeros runs on Dunk and Egg.
It’ll be a while before before House of the Dragon is back for a third season, but HBO’s forthcoming A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms spin-off series looks like it’ll keep Game of Thrones fans fed when it premieres next year.
The HBO fantasy series provided a boon in web traffic. But what happened when every publication started chasing the same thing?

AT&T tried to get Game of Thrones to Go 90.
Before 3 Body Problem premieres this spring on Netflix, WSJ Magazine dug into David Benioff and D.B. Weiss to discuss this new book-to-TV adaptation and, of course, their last one too.
They reveal AT&T execs asked if GoT could be shot vertically for phones and discussed making “snackable” mini-episodes (like, quick bites, you might say). They also said an idea to end Thrones with three movies instead of 13 episodes split across two seasons was rejected, apparently with a reminder that HBO doesn’t stand for “Away Box Office.”

Here’s exactly how dark that scene from last week’s House of the Dragon episode was.
Last week’s episode of House of the Dragon featured a scene that was shot in full daylight and darkened in post-production to make it look like a night scene. As a result, a full 17 minutes of the episode was virtually unviewable, regardless of how nice the TV you watched it on was.
Vincent Teoh from HDTVTest has done some measuring and comparing of the scene on various screens, including a $30,000 reference monitor, to see just how dark that scene got. The result? Most of it was well below a single nit of brightness, which is why it was so difficult to watch.
Teoh has some tips for those hoping to get a better experience, including turning off HDR entirely, but the only real fix would be for HBO’s directors to actually master the show for screens people watch it on, not just the reference monitors they are using while editing.
