After the tumultuous reception to the final season of Game of Thrones, many believed the franchise was on its last legs, particularly in the realm of television. However, the spin-off prequel, House of the Dragon, has impressively revived the series' popularity. This resurgence has paved the way for a new mobile game, Game of Thrones: Dragonfire, which is now in soft launch in select regions.
Set nearly two centuries before the events we're familiar with from Game of Thrones, Dragonfire transports players back to the era of the Targaryens. This period is renowned for its dragons, political intrigue, betrayals, and epic battles. In the game, you'll have the chance to gather and raise your own dragons to wage war against your foes.
Beyond the allure of dragons, Dragonfire offers strategic tile-based battles as you expand your territory, forge and dissolve alliances. The game features a detailed map of Westeros, complete with iconic locations like the Red Keep and Dragonstone, providing a rich backdrop for your conquests.

With a roster of recognizable characters, a setting ripe for strategic gameplay and political maneuvering, and a host of iconic battle locations, Dragonfire has the potential to be a compelling addition to the Game of Thrones franchise.
