Reigns: Game of Thrones' new trailer shows off jousts and battles

If the new trailer for Reigns: Game of Thrones is anything to go by, we can expect the game to feature all of the debauchery and grisly dealings that HBO's show revels in.

Most of the gameplay footage from the trailer looks fairly familiar, albeit with that nice Game of Thrones twist.

The trailer also shows off a brief battle scene. Here, the player character is challenged to make multiple life or death decisions in what looks like rapid succession. We also get to see one of the new in-game games – jousting!

In addition to all of that, a few series favourite characters pop up, such as Tyrion and Cersei – both seen bickering away as usual.

It's also very interesting that plot points from the show, such as winter, have an effect on the way that the game plays, and it's neat to see the White Walkers make an appearance.

If you fancy finding out which franchises we reckon should get the Reigns treatment next, then you should go ahead and click right here. And as an added bonus, here's a retrospective on the first two games in the series.

Reigns: Game of Thrones releases tomorrow on the App Store and Google Play for £3.99. You should check back with us then to have a look at our full review.
