A new expansion for the mobile strategy game Game of Thrones: Conquest, titled "Children of the Forest", is set to launch on 29 July 2026, marking the latest addition to a franchise that has already had an active year with new television instalments. The free update reintroduces the Children of the Forest, the ancient beings from George R.R. Martin's lore credited with creating the White Walkers and the Night King during their war with the First Men, giving fans another way to engage with the expanding Thrones universe.

Game of Thrones: Conquest, published by Warner Bros, has been running since 2017 and has continued to receive lore-expanding updates over the years. The new content arrives alongside a strong year for the wider franchise, which has seen the debut season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (already renewed for a second season) and the ongoing third season of House of the Dragon on HBO. According to the article's headline, the new release will only be available for a limited time after its launch.
