What the Game of Thrones Conquest anniversary includes
Game of Thrones: Conquest is a free-to-play mobile strategy game published by Warner Bros. Games and released on October 19, 2017. The Conquest team published its October preview on October 5, framing the ninth year around the Tyrell house words, “Growing Strong.”

The anniversary content covers several areas. Two new research trees launched on October 7. An anniversary login event runs through October 25. A Weirwood Tree banner sigil and two new avatars are available to every player. The month’s October Arc, Old Nan’s Tales, runs from October 7 to October 30 and brings new gear alongside the bonus hero.
Screen Rant described the Game of Thrones Conquest anniversary as one of the game’s busiest months in a while.

Undead Viserion: the Game of Thrones Conquest anniversary bonus hero
The new hero is Viserion, Flame of the Night King. This is the version of the dragon that the Night King pulled from the frozen lake and resurrected as a wight, which Screen Rant notes happened during Season 7 of the show. The developers called it “an appropriately spooky” bonus hero, released as an anniversary surprise.
Viserion is a Heroic hero seated as Master of Ships. His skills focus on March Size buffs and extra troop attack, and he comes with two signature skills and five regular skills. His hero event begins on October 26, when players can earn his hero shards.
Two other Old Nan’s Tales rewards arrive with him. The Free Folk’s gear set boosts infantry attack and defense, along with March Size and speed. The Ever-Ready Warrior Peytral is a new dragon gear piece that raises dragon cavalry attack against Seats of Power, among other stats.

New research trees and the Weirwood login reward
Research got the biggest permanent upgrade. Two new trees, Military III and Dragon Combat, went live on October 7. The developers say the trees were designed differently, with common player feedback in mind, and they discussed the approach in an interview with designer McPivot in September.
To mark the launch, the game ran The Priest’s Shadow research event from October 7 to 9. It offered 40% speed on all research trees, plus discounts on several research materials.
The Anniversary Login Event runs from October 7 to October 25. Players earn rewards by completing daily quests, including Glass Candle Shards, Weirwood Pawn Shards, and research materials. The Weirwood Tree Pawn is earned through this event, so you need to keep up your daily quests to unlock it.
Separately, the Weirwood Tree Banner Sigil is free for everyone at the Bannermaker. Claim the free Banner Change Token from your message center before the notice expires.
Quality-of-life changes added for the Game of Thrones Conquest anniversary
As is anniversary tradition, the team shipped a batch of quality-of-life updates, some already live and others rolling out through the month. They include better sorting for Reinforcements and grouped bookmark categories. Recipes can now be favorited like armories and gear.
In the Dragon Pit, a Dragon Lore counter replaces the resource display in the header. Recipes that reward heroes now show your current relic count and star level. The March Pawn Panel keeps its Information button visible at all times. Finally, a “Craftable Now” filter shows gear you can make with materials on hand.
Key dates for the rest of October
The Lord of Light PvP event runs from October 16 to 19. The Rat Cook PvE rally follows from October 19 to 21, and Kingdom Merge takes place on October 21. A Maester’s Journey runs October 22 to 24, and Varys’s Riddle runs October 23 to 25.
The anniversary login event ends October 25. Then October 26 is the big day. Viserion’s hero event starts, the second Rise of Dragons dragon power-up runs October 26 to 28, and Arena and the Festival of the Stranger run through November 2.
