Game of Thrones Beyond the Wall launches earlier than expected for iOS

Game of Thrones Beyond the Wall, Behaviour Interactive's RPG adaptation of HBO's hit fantasy show, has launched a day early for iOS. It was originally scheduled to arrive tomorrow, March 26th, on the App Store.

This one's set 48 years prior to the events of the show, and it casts you as the latest in a long line of Lord Commanders of the Night's Watch. You've been promoted after your old boss, Brynden "Bloodraven" Rivers, suddenly disappeared.

The focus here is on building up an army of characters from across the series and its many locales. You'll recruit crossbowmen from The Westerlands, spearmen from Dorne, crossbowmen from The Westerlands, scoundrels from King’s Landing, and exotic fighters from The Free Cities.

On top of the standard recruits, you'll be able to meet and befriend fan-favourite characters from the show, including Daenerys Targaryen, Jaime Lannister, and Jon Snow. These special heroes boast their own unique combat abilities, and there are even different versions of the most famous characters to collect.

Combat is turn-based, so perhaps expect slower-pace, more strategically demanding battles. In order to seize victory, you'll have to carefully optimise your squad to handle the task at hand.

Game of Thrones Beyond the Wall is now available for download from over on the App Store. It's a timed iOS exclusive, so the Android version will arrive on Google Play next Friday, April 3rd.
