That Game of Thrones RTS is still coming, still very HBO, but no longer due out this year

A dragon from Game of Thrones: War for Westeros as it lights other ground units on fire with its breath.

Game of Thrones: War for Westeros—the upcoming RTS from PlaySide emerging from the blasted wreckage of HBO's once-water-cooler-dominating fantasy TV series—would like you to know it still exists and is still coming out. Just, you know, a little later than it originally had planned.

War for Westeros originally broke cover at last year's Summer Game Fest, promising big RTS battles, tricksy alliance-forging between the many houses of Westeros, and "deeply asymmetric strategies, with signature heroes, armies, and mechanics forged from the brutal legacy of Westeros." It was very much a game based on the TV show, and not the more well-regarded but less recognisable book series—you could tell because Charles Dance did the narration and there were some uncanny CGI renditions of Kit Harington and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
