Game of Thrones has inspired a variety of stuff around us. From theme weddings to cruise ships to games, the HBO show is a cultural phenomenon that has broken all global barriers. Among the most recent things, a mobile RPG (Role Playing Game) called Game of Thrones Beyond the Wall displayed great graphics and parallels from the show. Set in the wilderness of the North in Westeros, Beyond the Wall features an original story; where a player takes control of the Night’s Watch as the Lord Commander. The adventure leads you to explore the mysteries beyond the Wall involving the Three-Eyed Raven. It already consists of many fan-favorite characters such as Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow. And now, the latest update enables the user to play as Jaime Lannister and Melisandre as well. Read on to find out more.
The game has many characters, some original while others fan-favorites, each involved in a series of combats. The new characters of Jaime and Melisandre come with their stories linked to iconic battles that we remember from GoT. As Jaime Lannister, the Westerlands Commander, you get to play through the Battle of Goldroad in an event called “Field of Fire”; where Lannister armies went head-to-fire with Daenerys’ army of Drogon and the Dothraki. To add more color from the show that we’ve loved so much, Melisandre brings the Long Night. If you choose to play as the Red Woman from Asshai, you’ll re-live the Battle of Winterfell in an event called “Trials of Fire”, where she had come back to light things up for the last time.
According to Gamespot, “Once you’ve completed the first levels of both the new storylines that are available with the latest Game of Thrones Beyond the Wall update, you will have access to both Jaime and Melisandre, and you’ll be able to permanently add them to your roster of heroes from the Seven Kingdoms”. Thus, these star characters would also participate in other challenges of the game apart from their familiar storylines. We’re sure it would make the journey to the far North even more interesting. So, head over to the game and have fun!
Game of Thrones Beyond the Wall released on March 26 for Apple mobile users on the iOS Store; whereas it released on April 3 on Google Play Store and Huawei’s AppGallery. The game is currently available on all three platforms and performing well. Developed and brought to us by Behavior Interactive, GAEA, and HBO, the game has been translated into 10 languages so far.

Game of Thrones was the biggest TV show of the 21st century. It set the bar for quality TV shows really high. The fantastical epic became a household name and caused a gigantic rise in HBO’s viewership. The series won tons of awards during its run, making the show a popular franchise. However, HBO has suffered a steep decline in ratings and viewings since the conclusion of Game of Thrones.
The 50 top-rated networks of 2020 by adults in the 18-49 age range shows that HBO suffered a 52 per cent drop. Linear viewing (i.e. watching shows at scheduled times) on the US premium network saw an overall demographic drop of 38 percent. Other US networks were also hit with declines as reported by Variety. However, cable news networks were high up on the list owing to big stories in 2020. Fox News Channel reported a 43 per cent increase in viewing figures.
HBO is planning to make a huge comeback post the Red Wedding year 2020. The television giant released their epic line up for upcoming shows and movies. The list included much-awaited movies like Zack Snyder’s Justice League. It also included a teaser for Game of Thrones prequel House of The Dragon.
Game of Thrones fans are already hyped up for the prequel series. The epic line-up shows huge promise and will definitely put the network back on top. Are you excited about the upcoming shows and movies? Talk to us in the comments below!
The world is a boxing ring where you fight to keep yourself on your feet. People all around the world had to box really hard through the Red Wedding year 2020. The new year comes with huge expectations and promise. Game of Thrones’ Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson has already started preparing for the bouts he has to face (quite literally). The strongman faced Irish boxer, Steven Ward, in an exhibition match and astonished everyone with his skills.
The duo went head to head at a sold-out Conrad Dubai on Friday. As it was an exhibition match, there was no victor declared. Ward was knocked down by Björnsson in the second round of the match. However, he bounced back in the final round with a flurry of punches that left Björnsson with a bloody nose.
Thor was full of praise for cruiserweight Ward after the lively draw: “Steven is unbelievable. I doubt many people would want to step into a ring with someone my size. Stevie has a big heart. To come here and do this exhibition with me means a lot. I needed that experience. Steven is the same height as my opponent in September, and this was great.”
Björnsson will face long time rival Eddie Hall later in September this year in Las Vegas. Are you excited about the World’s Heaviest Boxing match? Talk to us in the comments below!
