Actor Kit Harington is returning to the world of Game of Thrones, but not in the way you’d expect or even probably hope for. The actor has returned to promote the Game of Thrones: Legends mobile game via a cheeky advertisement filled with references to his character, Jon Snow.
Harington said in a statement ( via THR) that Legends is a “true love letter to fans” and that he is “honored to pay tribute” to fans via the game.
A match-three Bejeweled-esque game, Legends is developed by Zynga, which is owned by GTA parent company Take-Two. The game has players assembling characters from the Thrones universe, including Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion Lannister, and Rhaenyra Targaryen, as they put together a team to try to stop the Long Night.
Like Zynga’s other games, Legends is a free-to-play title supported by microtransactions. You can download Legends now on iOS and Android.
Harington toyed with the idea of coming back to play Jon Snow again in a new TV series he was working on with George R.R. Martin. However, he recently confirmed the show is no longer moving ahead.
