Game of Thrones Ascent, the first social media RPG based on the Game of Thrones series, is now available to play for free on Facebook.
Disruptor Beam has been working to develop a social media strategy game based on the epic fantasy series by George R.R. Martin for almost a year, and finally the game has entered the open beta stage!
Martin himself has been working closely with the company to give the game a flair of authenticity. Writing about the game last year, the author said, “I saw several early versions of the game demonstrated, [they] took great pains to make sure the flavor of the novels is here.”
The story opens with the death of the King’s Hand, and then it is anybody’s game as you embark on your quest to gain control of Westeros – and every decision you make can have grave consequences. At the start of your journey you get to select both the look and name of your character, and as you progress you can swear fealty to one of the five major Houses (Lannister, Baratheon, Stark, Targaryen or Greyjoy).
As the game goes along you get to cement your allegiance, secure holdings, develop lands and improve your reputation, and assign sworn swords to quests. The team will continue to develop the game as season 3 of the HBO series progresses, so stay tuned for exciting updates!
