Known as 'Cyberpunk 2077's' biggest fan, Angharad is a Welsh games writer who thrives in anything related to digital storytelling. If a video game explores the intricacies and horrors of womanhood, she is there.

Thanks to previous work at GAMINGbible, GameByte, The Loadout, Game Luster, Angharad has built a strong understanding of both the digital world and what fans want from it and is eager to share her thoughts and expertise with readers.

It may have been seven years since Game of Thrones came to an end, but its influence is far from over. Not only has it gone onto inspire equally successful spin-off shows, House of the Dragon, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, but it has also begun spreading across the video game universe.

Whilst we still wait for real-time strategy game, Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, which is set to launch in 2027, there are plenty of Game of Thrones-inspired mobile games that have taken the genre by storm. Whilst mobile games may not be something we all partake in, Game of Thrones: Legends is breaking the mold, by boasting an ever-growing player base and over one million downloads.

First launched back in July 2024, the mobile puzzle role-playing game by Zynga is available for both iOS and Android, and allows players to color-match gems in order to defeat opponents. Featuring beloved characters from Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, such as Jon Snow, Rhaenyra Targaryen, and Ser Duncan "Dunk" the Tall, the game also welcomes regular events and content updates, as well as a story mode for those not interested in any PvP content.

Now, this November, the Kingsroad: The Lion’s Reign event is set to take place, running from November 9, at 3:00 a.m. ET to December 7, at 2:00 a.m. ET. Taking place on the iconic Kingsroad and Goldroad, players are encouraged to complete Daily and Weekly Quests in order to progress along the Kingsroad tiers. Doing so will reward them with Champion Shards, Summoning Tokens, and more! If you had not already guessed, Champion Shards will allow you to unlock brand-new characters for your roster, so getting these will be invaluable in your journey through Game of Thrones: Legends.

On this occasion, Champion Shards will also be rewarded as part of this month's Goldroad Pass season pass. This means that you will be able to use your shards to gamble for none other than Tywin Lannister himself, and as a formidable soldier in his youth, and a malicious tactician in later life, this is not a character you will want to miss out on.

The Kingsroad: The Lion’s Reign event is just one of many content updates taking place throughout November, and, as mentioned, this is the type of updates Game of Thrones: Legends will receive all throughout the year, making it perhaps the best Game of Thrones-inspired mobile game out there.

Other events taking place this November are Robb's War, Battle of the Bastards, House of the Dragon, and the Battle of Blackwater Bay. There are also new summons to get hold of, including The Old Raven and Crow of the Free Folk. On top of that, players can also look forward to new items, including Champions Cersei Lannister and Sansa Stark.

Put simply, if you are a big Game of Thrones fan, you will not want to miss out on all of the incredible content being regularly added to Game of Thrones: Legends, especially as the game itself is completely free to download.
