Watch the trailer for Netmarble’s new Game of Thrones mobile game
By Dan Selcke
Netmarble Neo is working with HBO on an open world Game of Thrones mobile game, and the trailer looks pretty stunning. Have a watch!
Give or take Telltale’s story-driven adventure games, there hasn’t really been a hit video game based on HBO’s Game of Thrones…although there have been a bunch of Game of Thrones video games. For instance, developer Netmarble Neo put out a mobile game called Iron Throne a few years back.
Now, Spiel Times reports that the company is working with HBO and Warner Bros. Interactive on another Game of Thrones mobile game. This one will be a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, or an MMORPG. It will recreate Westeros in an open environment and be set during the same time period covered by the show.
Netmarble has already released a trailer, although it’s hard to tell if these graphics reflect the finished project. It looks impressive, though. The game is powered by Unreal Engine 5, and the company promises “hyper-realistic console-quality” visuals. Take a look:
According to Netmarble Neo CEO Park Beom-jin, the new game — which as of now is simply titled Game of Thrones — will combine a rich single-player experience with a large-scale multiplayer experience. There will be dynamic weather, heavy combat, and an open world. Sounds ambitious!
There’s no release date for the new game yet — there’s very few specifics about anything — but we’ll keep an eye out.
