Mount and Blade 2 gets an Early Access Game of Thrones mod

Video Games and TV shows go hand in hand, they are not just a means of brand promotion but also provide an in-universe experience to the players. Game of Thrones and Mount and Blade go way back, the latter being a game set in a medieval world, often gets regular tweaks that resemble the widely-loved show. The sequel, Mount and Blade: Bannerlord, has continued the tradition, and there’s a mod that allows you to transform your virtual world into Westeros.

The new mod, known as the Realm of Thrones, effectively changes Mount and Blade: Bannerlord into the A Song of Ice and Fire universe around the time of the War of the Five Kings. That means you get to be a part of one of the major factions and get a first-hand experience of their struggle.

Impressive features include a massive main map that showcases all of Westeros and most of Essos—Game of Thrones’ eastern continent liberated by Daenerys Targaryen. The new map includes 17 new towns and 80 villages, major landmarks like Kings’ Landing and Winterfell, and 18 new kingdoms which cover most of the main competitors in Game of Thrones’ race to the Iron Throne. The mod even features some simulation of life in the far north, with “Hundreds of Wights” roaming beyond the wall.

There are also several custom armour sets such as the Dothraki, the Thenns, and the Night’s Watch. The mod’s creator, Carolina Warlord, also has a Discord channel you can join, and a Patreon for supporting the mod’s ongoing development. So what are you waiting for? Jump right in, give the mod a try and let us know how you feel about it in the comments below!
