The popular Facebook game Game of Thrones: Ascent has just released an exciting new Fire & Blood expansion, and there’s more good news for Kindle Fire device owners!
For a couple of years now, fans of HBO’s Game of Thrones have been able to immerse themselves in Westerosi politics online, playing Disruptor Beam’s amazing (and addictive!) Game of Thrones: Ascent game.
As a noble living in Westeros, the player will be able to work with (or against) other players to position themselves on the hierarchal ladder. You complete story-driven quests to gain new skills, workers or important items, carving your own path through George R.R. Martin’s incredible world of Ice and Fire.
You get to play alongside key characters from the TV show, including Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen. As each episode of Game of Thrones airs, new content is released, allowing you to play new quests and explore the show like never before.
Ascent first launched on Facebook in 2013, and has since been made available to play on the game developer’s website and Kongregate, via Apple’s App Store, and on Google Play.
And now fans who own one of Amazon’s Kindle Fire devices will also be able to join in on the fun!
Since the game’s launch, more than 10 million Game of Thrones fans have interacted with the game, creating more than 15 million in-game characters.
Game of Thrones: Ascent players have also recently been treated to a major expansion of the game, titled Fire & Blood.

Probably the most exciting new feature is the ability to grow your baby dragons into wild adolescents, using the Dragon Pits to unlock the potential of the four different types of dragons available.
In the new challenge-based Tales of Ice and Fire system, players can engage with Westeros in a whole new way — reaping epic rewards in quick-to-play Tales, assigning Sworn Swords to challenges, and completing tasks at each location.
Other new features include Game of Thrones season 5 content, and the ability to travel across an interactive map while engaging with iconic tales from the show. You’ll for example be able to experience Daenerys’ sack of the slaver cities, Robb Stark’s march on King’s Landing, and the Night’s Watch ranging North of the Wall.
