Play as Jon Snow or Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall mobile game

In partnership with HBO and Gaea, developer Behaviour Interactive is making a Game of Thrones mobile game called Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall. You play as the Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch shortly after the disappearance of your leader, Brynden “Bloodraven” Rivers. Fight giants, wildlings and other dangers as you delve into the mysteries beyond the Wall in this strategy RPG.

That all sounds pretty grounded, but there’s also a mechanic where you use weirwood trees to travel to key points in Westerosi history and recruit more familiar characters to use in gameplay. According to Watchers on the Wall, Behaviour has pulled the curtain back on two of the most important: Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen.

Each character will have special skills. As you can see, Jon’s include techniques like “Decisive Strike,” “Pathfinder’s Blade,” and “Pass the Sentence, Swing the Sword.”

Far more importantly, there are different versions of the characters available, each with different costumes. At launch, versions of Jon Snow will include the Old Bear’s Steward, who can heal friends and enhance their attacks; and the King in the North, who does plentiful damage and boosts ally mobility and damage.

Daenerys will come in a couple of varieties, too. As the Breaker of Chains, she can heal allies and boost their attacks, much like the Old Bear’s Steward. As the Lady of Dragonstone, she can summon Drogon to torch motherf***ers.

Expect to see other characters added as time goes on.

Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall will drop later this year on Google Play and the App Store, although there doesn’t seem to be an exact release date just yet. You can pre-register for the game on the official website.
