Game of Thrones: The Cold & The Dark is now live: a 3-day mobile event

Game of Thrones: The Cold & The Dark is now live inside Game of Thrones: Conquest as a three-day mobile event running from August 18 to August 20. It gives players a way to craft gear tied to Conquest’s 13th season, and since that material first showed up back in 2022, this lands more as a returning content drop than a brand-new expansion.

It also folds into the month-long Crafting Flashbacks program, which reopens older crafting content for a short window. So if you’ve seen the title floating around, don’t read it as a standalone game, a TV premiere, or some big new franchise rollout.

Regular Game of Thrones: Conquest players will probably want to jump in. Anyone outside that mobile-game crowd should keep their expectations in check.

The title leans hard on familiar A Song of Ice and Fire imagery, with echoes of the White Walkers, the Long Night, and the Great Other. Even so, attention has been fairly modest and mostly confined to English-language gaming outlets, because Game of Thrones: The Cold & The Dark really means the most to people who already play Game of Thrones: Conquest.

You can pick up Game of Thrones: The Cold & The Dark right now through Game of Thrones: Conquest on mobile. It arrives in a crowded stretch for the franchise in 2026, coming after House of the Dragon season 3 and while Game of Thrones: The Mad King is running in England through September 5, 2026.
