Warner Bros. Games and HBO® today announced the global launch of Game of Thrones: Dragonfire, a free-to-play mobile strategy game based on the Emmy® Award-winning original drama series, “House of the Dragon.” Developed by Warner Bros. Games Boston, players are invited to begin their journey as a new dragonrider seeking to dominate Westeros during the Targaryen Civil War through tactical, tile-based warfare. Starting today, players worldwide can download the game on the App Store for iOS and Google Play for Android.
“We’re thrilled to bring Game of Thrones: Dragonfire to mobile players with an immersive strategy experience that is very authentic to House of the Dragon,” said JB Perrette, CEO and President, Global Streaming and Games, Warner Bros. Discovery. “Our Warner Bros. Boston team did an amazing job creating a game true to the Game of Thrones world for fans, inviting them to build their legacy, forge alliances, and define their own battle for Westeros.”
“With Game of Thrones: Dragonfire, we wanted to put the world of ‘House of the Dragon’ directly into players’ hands,” said Matt Read, Vice President and Studio Head, Warner Bros. Games Boston. “From commanding dragons to navigating the choices that shape Westeros, we focused on creating a game that feels true to the universe fans love while giving them room to play their own way. Our team in Boston is excited to share the game for fans to engage with the world they know and love.”
Enter the Dance of Dragons
In a dynasty divided by fire and blood, players step into Westeros as a rising dragonrider, a Valyrian descendant newly bonded with their first dragon. From whelp to warrior, fans will hatch, raise and command dragons as they build power across Westeros, with the ultimate goal of seizing control of King’s Landing. Featuring 28 unique dragons available at launch with more to be released in future updates, players can collect iconic dragons like Caraxes and Syrax, as well as original beasts created specifically for the game. Each dragon features distinct Command skills, passive Habit abilities, troop affinities and powerful synergies that support a variety of strategies and playstyles.
Players can field up to five dragon-led armies simultaneously, allowing for coordinated marches, strategic assaults and defensive maneuvers across a tiled map, bringing the scope and intensity of the Dance of Dragons to life. Beyond the battlefield, fans can further engage with their dragons through a Dragon Strike minigame, where players fly their dragons to evade obstacles and unleash fire on incoming enemies.
Modern Strategy Gameplay
Game of Thrones: Dragonfire builds upon Warner Bros. Games Boston’s mobile strategy expertise to deliver a modern, approachable mobile game experience blending tile-based warfare, territorial expansion and the power of dragons as players battle for control of the Seven Kingdoms. The game features a living world where limited-time seasonal Reigns will reset the competition and race for territory control – introducing new storylines while keeping competition balanced for new and returning players. Conversely, permanent progress like dragon growth will remain, allowing for long-term progression.
Strategic control of the map is key as players form Alliances, coordinate attacks and battle to conquer iconic locations and castles throughout the kingdoms of Westeros. Each tile provides distinct benefits, from resources used to upgrade strongholds, train troops and grow dragons – to geographical advantages that allow multiple allies to garrison and provide faster reinforcements to armies.
An Authentic Westeros Experience
Drawing inspiration from events portrayed in “House of the Dragon,” Game of Thrones: Dragonfire immerses players in an original story that places them at the center of the conflict surrounding the Targaryen succession. Through epic, scenario-driven conflicts called Campaigns, players encounter familiar locations, characters and power struggles from the series, while actively shaping the fate of the realm. From fighting to secure Rhaenyra Targaryen’s claim to the Iron Throne to infiltrating the Greens and shaping events from within, each Campaign offers a player-driven path into the world fans know and love.
The narrative of Game of Thrones: Dragonfire evolves in response to player choices and performance, featuring branching storylines and reactive Campaign stages that change with each seasonal Reign to deliver new outcomes, rewards and story moments. By completing Personal, Alliance and overarching Faction objectives, players can unlock special scenes tied directly to their actions on the battlefield. Solo players can also make meaningful contributions to broader Faction goals without joining an Alliance, ensuring multiple paths to progression. Collectively, player decisions influence how the overarching story unfolds, creating a living, shared experience across Westeros.
Additionally, in a first-of-its-kind technology collaboration between HBO Max and Warner Bros. Games, players who link their accounts can earn escalating Game of Thrones: Dragonfire rewards by watching “House of the Dragon” Season 3, with each episode unlocking a bespoke in-game reward, plus a premium reward for completing the full season.

Steelkrill Studio announced Where Dolls Hang, A game inspired by a real-life location in Mexico and puts you in the role of a detective. Players will investigate by marking clues, handling bodies, and surviving on a boat while navigating wetlands, swamps, and forests filled with hanging dolls. Along the way, you’ll craft weapons and build your own shelter to stay alive.
The game is inspired by Isla de las Muñecas in Mexico, also known as the Island of dolls. The game blends the survival, crafting, and exploration of The Forest with the psychological tension and atmosphere of Silent Hill, P.T and Outlast.
Unlike traditional survival horror experiences, Where Dolls Hang puts players in the role of a detective. Trapped within an unnatural “Forest of Dolls,” players must investigate missing person cases by examining bodies, collecting clues, placing evidence markers, and documenting crime scenes with an in-game camera, all while surviving the dangers lurking within the woods.
Described as a blend of The Forest, Outlast, P.T and Silent Hill, Where Dolls Hang combines survival mechanics, exploration, and crafting with psychological horror and a unique forensic investigation system rarely seen in the genre.
