Jon Snow will return as a playable character in Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, PlaySide Studios' upcoming real-time strategy game set to launch in 2027, according to Game Rant. The character uses the likeness of actor Kit Harrington and is tied to the House Stark faction.
Other playable leaders confirmed for the game include Jaime Lannister for House Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen for House Targaryen. The Night King is also a playable character.
Jon Snow was a primary main character in Game of Thrones, featured prominently as a point-of-view character in A Song of Ice and Fire and positioned as a centerpiece of the HBO series. Reports of a Jon Snow spin-off series as a sequel to Game of Thrones ultimately fell through.
In the Game of Thrones television finale, Arya Stark defeated the Night King rather than Jon Snow. An Arya Stark sequel series is in development, while the final season of House of the Dragon is coming. At least two more seasons of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms are also in development, and an Aegon's Conquest movie is on the way.
