Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer Kit Harington has returned home to Westeros for the the launch of new RPG mobile game “Game of Thrones: Legends.” Harington shows up in the “Game of Thrones: Legends” trailer, which dropped in connection with the game’s launch Thursday, playin himself as he becomes deeply immersed in the mobile game and starts seeing White Walker-esque blue eyes appear in the people around him while he plays.
The ad, which will stream on Max ahead of new episodes of “House of the Dragon,” end with Harington having a visceral reaction to a fan playing the game nearby, who outplays him and drops the iconic line, “You know nothing Jon Snow.” Other features in the game include: In “Game of Thrones: Legends,” players build and lead their own Westeros house, honing their tactics and skill as they strategically assemble a team of champions, equip weapons, and gear, and face formidable foes from the “Game of Thrones” universe, per Zynga‘s description for the new mobile title.
Players can tackle their quest in story mode or engage in Raids, playing against each other in real-time as they level up their roster of champions. “The creativity and care taken to create ‘Game of Thrones: Legends’ is obvious and it feels completely natural to jump back into Westeros for this game,” Harington said. “This is a true love letter to the fans, of whom the franchise would be nothing without, and I’m honored to pay tribute to them in this new campaign.” “Game of Thrones: Legends,” which launched Thursday on the Apple App Store and Google Play, is developed by Take-Two Interactive’s mobile studio Zynga for Warner Bros.
