Game of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms was announced in February 2012, with the first look being unveiled at the Game Developers Conference in March 2012. Players would be able to customize their characters by changing features such as hair and clothing. Solo play will be possible, although group play will be encouraged. Lesser houses align themselves with one of the three major houses in-game: Baratheon, Stark or Lannister. Players would be able to come together to form guilds, known as lesser houses. Combat would be realtime, with movement controlled using the WASD keys. Player vs Environment (PvE) combat was planned to be available at launch, although this was not a major priority. Gameplay was planned to be mainly based around player vs player (PvP) combat, which would involve small group combat, one on one duels and siege battles, large scale battles in which players must capture keeps, forts and castles. Game of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms was to be set within the fictional realm of Westeros, and will use a third-person viewpoint.
