Kit Harington is dipping back into the world of Game of Thrones for the newly launched Legends game.
The Emmy-nominated actor plays off his Jon Snow past in a new ad (below) that’s full of references to his iconic character.
“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 in a statement. “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.”
The trailer stars a rather suave-looking Harington in present day, walking through a dimly lit club and being deeply immersed in a mobile game that is provoking some Westeros-based fantasies. The campaign also will be featured before new episodes of HBO’s House of the Dragon.
Legends is an RPG puzzle and here’s the official description: “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. 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.”
Harington was previously attached to a potential Jon Snow spinoff series that was in the works at HBO that has since been shelved.
The game from Zynga includes characters from both Thrones and House of the Dragon, including Rhaenyra Targaryen, The Hound, Drogon, Arya Stark, Ghost and even Ser Criston Cole.
“Our teams have developed and built Game of Thrones: Legends to create both an engaging gaming experience and a deep Game of Thrones experience for the fans and it is thrilling to see our work launched alongside this fantastic marketing campaign,” said Yaron Leyvand, executive vice president, Mobile Games, Zynga. “We are proud to bring this title to the world, along with Kit Harington, and we cannot wait to see the stories our players tell as they travel through Westeros.”
Legends is and now available for download in the App Store and Google Play.
