A total conversion of Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord brings the entire continent of Westeros into the game, along with hundreds of NPCs with matching armour.
Game of Thrones really lends itself perfectly to video games: After all, a dark fantasy world with dragons, intrigue and various factions fighting for supremacy provides enough material for role-playing games, strategy, adventure and more.
In addition to some official adaptations like Telltale’s adventure game, ambitious modding projects for existing games also stand out time and again: be it when fans recreate Westeros in Minecraft or develop a giant mod for Total War. Now a Total Conversion for Mount & Blade 2 has been released, which lets you conquer almost the entire world of Game of Thrones.
All of Westeros and Essos
The project called Realm of Thrones has been in development since 2021, we reported on it last year. Since 4 April 2022, the mod is now available in Early Access on (Moddb) and (Nexusmods) and is consequently still being developed.
However, Realm of Thrones can already boast a whole range of impressive features:
- New world map: So far, the map covers the whole of Westeros as well as a large part of the continent of Essos, where Daenerys Tagaryen began her campaign. In total, there are 17 cities and more than 80 villages in the current version.
- Kingdoms and cultures from Game of Thrones: The modders have added 18 new kingdoms and adapted existing ones to the scenario.
- Characters from series and books: There are supposed to be hundreds of NPCs from Game of Thrones, on pictures we already see Jon Snow, King Joffrey, Tywin Lannister, Barristan Selmy, Robb Stark and other well-known characters.
- New Armour and Weapons: In total, there should also be several hundred different armour and weapons that look amazingly similar to their models from the series. New in the release version are, for example, the armour of the Night’s Watch, the Dothraki and that of House Bolton
- Hordes of revenants north of the Wall: The zombie-like creatures from Game of Thrones are also said to be wreaking havoc in the north.
Within a year, the modders have already made great progress. In the future, however, the mod is to be expanded and improved even further. In doing so, the project also relies on support via Patreon.
By the way, Mount Blade 2 continues to receive official updates. Recently, for example, numerous improvements for the multiplayer were released with an update.
What do you think of the total conversion for Mount & Blade 2? Do you wish for more games in the Game of Thrones universe and are therefore happy about the mod? Or are you still not really convinced by what has been shown? Feel free to write us your opinion in the comments.
