Devolver Digital has revealed that Reigns: Game of Thrones is heading to Nintendo Switch next week. You'll be able to get your hands on it from 11th April.
Developed in partnership with the TV show's network HBO, the game is a spin-off in the Reigns strategy game series. You'll be doing everything in your power to claim the Iron Throne as Cersei Lannister, Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, and more favourites from the show, carefully navigating the complex relationships of the Seven Kingdoms.
The first two games in the Reign series have actually already been released on Switch in a double pack called Reigns: Kings & Queens. We thought that the games were already like a weird blend of Game of Thrones and Tinder when we reviewed them last year, so perhaps this is a perfect fit?
If you want to learn a little more about it, we'll leave you with this lengthy description from the Nintendo store. The game will be available from 11th April for $3.99 / £3.59.

A Formidable Cast: Rule from the Iron Throne as Cersei Lannister, Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion Lannister, Sansa Stark, and more. Change between each king and queen you unlock to face challenges and mysteries unique to their story.
Impose Your Will: Swipe left or right to change the fate of the Seven Kingdoms forever as you hear the impassioned pleas and unpredictable demands from the people of Westeros. If a particular character becomes bothersome, tear their card in half to unburden Your Majesty with their concerns – but at what cost?
Reenvision Westeros: Melisandre’s visions are your playing field and extend beyond the TV series to imagine the many fates of those that would sit upon the Iron Throne. Rebuild the Great Sept of Baelor as Cersei or discover the path of the Seven Kingdoms if Sansa Stark had married Jaime Lannister.
Regal Mini Games: Even the most powerful rulers need to set aside their worries and partake in more trivial matters now and then. From jousting to tavern brawls, these distractions aren’t without consequence!
A Grander Reigns: Fans of the Reigns series will be delighted with the biggest, deepest entry in the series that does not simply retell the stories you know but rather lets you create new adventures at your whim.
Iconic Soundtrack: Decide the fate of Westeros and those that reside in your land to the soaring score of the HBO series by Ramin Djawadi.

Never watched it
I was half expecting this to eventually happen!
Congrats, Nerial, on eventually securing the license!
Saw this on the App Store last week, thought it looked like a naff mobile game then too.
Interesting that the Switch version is 40p cheaper than the mobile version.
The Reigns games are proper good fun. Anybody writing them off as mobile games clearly hasn’t played Monument Valley or Florence.
HODOR! HODOR! HODOR!
That fake Nintendo Direct DID list Tinder as coming to Switch.
watches Video Is this a joke? xD
scrolls down, sees Devolvers Digital is involved Ah - so it is.
My wife and son spent about 20 minutes last night wondering why there weren't too many GoT games and were trying to come up w/ good ones. I chimed in w/ an open world game during the reign of the mad king where you get to choose to fight alongside either the king or the Baratheons. Something along the lines of KOTOR or the 2 recent Middle Earth games.
Nobody suggested Tinder.
Will probably have to buy this b/c we're all a bunch of geeks.
This brings us one step closer to Wayne Knight's Adult Pinball!!!
For anybody, like myself, who had no idea what Reigns was, here's a simple tutorial read. Full of spoilers, but it's for the original, not this one.

Instabuy! Never played the original but always been on my wishlist. Now that a GoT special is here it's time to try it out
I like reigns, but not enough to get it with a Game of Thrones skin. Best of luck to the dev though! It is a fun concept.
@LetsGoSwitch
It's a fantastic show, the best on TV for me along with Agents of Shield.
I dont know what Reign is but I'm tempted by the GoT connection.
