For the first time in a game, players can command famous heroes from the TV show in tactics-inspired squad combat. Justin: Heroes are one of the aspects of Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall that I’m most excited about. Tell us about how heroes are used in Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall. This week, we sat down with Justin Jones, the project’s Creative Director, to find out how the game uses hero characters in collection and combat. ![]() Unfortunately, this was where that broke the most.This interview is part of a series of developer discussions that share details on the upcoming collectible RPG Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall, to be released on iOS and Android later this year. There could have been several reasons for a ranging beyond the Wall that end up going awry, with plenty of scope for there to be a believable rescue mission needed that Jon insists on going on, with him then sending to Daenerys asking for help, that would have been able to better fit with the show's logic. ![]() Another was the mark the Night King left on Bran in season 6, who later passed through the Wall that could have been spun into breaking its protective charms, allowing the Night King to bring it down more easily or just pass through/around it.Įven going down the dragon route, though, which certainly makes for the most impressive visual and fits with the greatest established magical beings in Game of Thrones, there ought to have been a better way than the plan to capture a wight. That might be how it happens in the book, in some way at least, and would've been one solution. It went ignored then, but it was speculated it could've been the Horn of Winter (or Joramun), which legend has it could bring the Wall down when blown. Back in season 2, Samwell Tarly (John Bradley) found a cache of dragonglass, with an old warhorn alongside it. Having a dragon be the answer to the Wall coming down is actually understandable, although there were other pieces on the board Game of Thrones could have used instead. As Weiss says in the book Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon: Game of Thrones and the Official Untold Story of the Epic Series: ![]() It marked what was arguably the nadir of the show's final two seasons, and certainly the plan to capture a wight was perhaps the worst seen in the entire show because it made zero sense, but it was all designed with a very specific purpose. That necessitated a rescue, thanks to a fast Gendry and even faster raven, which arrived in the form of Daenerys and her dragons, one of whom - Viserion - the Night King was able to kill and take as his own.

The idea stemmed from Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), who asked Jon to capture a wight from beyond the Wall and bring it back to Westeros for inspection, so that everyone could see the undead with their own eyes. Understandably, many were rather skeptical about the notion that what amounted to ice zombies were going to come for them, or that they could get past the Wall even if they were real, and so Jon was tasked with getting proof. That meant Game of Thrones season 7 saw some major characters coming together for the first time, not least meeting between Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), as Jon embarked on a mission to convince Westeros of the threat posed by the White Walkers. Weiss attempted to get all of the pieces in place for the eventual endgame. With just seven episodes instead of the usual 10, the pace rapidly quickened as showrunners David Benioff & D.B. Game of Thrones season 7 brought about the show's dumbest storyline - a plot to go beyond the Wall and capture a wight - but why did it need to happen in the first place? The penultimate season of Game of Thrones marked a real shift in the show's storytelling.
