The Finals developer Nexon is said to be working on a fresh project inspired by Game of Thrones. Following the success of The Finals last December, Nexon seems eager to tap into the immense popularity of the iconic book series and HBO show.

Several attempts have been made in the past to adapt Game of Thrones into video games, with varying degrees of success. While Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series showed potential, it was prematurely discontinued due to Telltale Games' closure in 2018. On the other hand, Reigns: Game of Thrones, a strategy game with a unique swiping mechanism akin to dating apps, stands out with an impressive 84% Metacritic score.

According to sources from Redanian Intelligence, Nexon is in the process of developing a new Game of Thrones MMORPG. This upcoming online game, reportedly similar in format to Diablo Immortal, will offer players the choice of playing as male or female characters, suggesting a departure from embodying existing Game of Thrones characters.

Details of the Anticipated Game of Thrones MMORPG

The specifics of Nexon's Game of Thrones MMORPG storyline remain undisclosed. However, reports indicate that it will unfold in the North, prominently featuring Winterfell and The Wall, and will be set between Seasons 4 and 5. While other kingdoms are expected to make appearances, details about them are scarce. As of now, Nexon has not officially verified the existence of the Game of Thrones MMORPG, urging fans to treat the news with skepticism.

Enthusiastic Game of Thrones followers have expressed anticipation for an MMORPG rendition of the series, envisioning a narrative and gameplay akin to The Witcher. Conversely, some harbor doubts regarding the game's quality, particularly concerning the potential heavy focus on microtransactions typical of MMORPGs.

With a reputation for crafting the popular MMORPG MapleStory, Nexon's rumored foray into the genre with a Game of Thrones title seems fitting. The expansive Game of Thrones universe offers abundant material for the MMORPG to draw from, albeit posing a risk of overwhelming players in the long run.
