Mobile puzzle RPG Game of Thrones: Legends has revealed its event calendar for October 2026, and the month opens with a Summon built around one of Westeros’ most influential families. The event is called Lord of the Hightower and it puts the Hightowers front and center, alongside some very familiar Targaryen faces.
When Lord of the Hightower runs
The Summon starts on October 7 at 4 AM ET and stays live until 2 AM ET on November 4. That gives you roughly four weeks to pull the new Champions before the event rotates out and the next one takes its place, so there’s no need to panic on day one – but there’s also no reason to leave it until the final night.
All Legendary Champions in the Summon
Lord of the Hightower adds a batch of Legendary Champions to the pool. During the event you can summon:
- Ormund Hightower
- Ser Gwayne Hightower
- Otto Hightower
- Rhaenyra Targaryen
- Aegon II Targaryen
- Sunfyre
It’s a lineup that leans hard into the House of the Dragon side of the lore, mixing the Hightower men with the two claimants to the Iron Throne – and with Sunfyre, a dragon, closing out the list. The full breakdown of the month sits on the October 2026 event calendar.
What this means for you
Summons are how Game of Thrones: Legends keeps its roster moving. Each new event cycles a fresh set of iconic characters into the game, and once a Summon ends, those Champions are no longer tied to that banner. If you’ve been saving resources, a six-Champion Legendary pool is exactly the kind of window worth spending them in – especially if you want a Hightower-flavored team or a dragon on your bench.
Zynga publishes a calendar like this every month, so you can plan your pulls instead of guessing. The game is still relatively young, having launched in 2024, but it’s clearly active: it has passed one million downloads on the Google Play Store alone. Last month’s Hand of the King event brought back Jon Snow and went down well with players, which gives you a decent idea of how the monthly rotation tends to work – a headline character, a themed banner, then on to the next one.
The franchise keeps moving
Even though the original TV series wrapped in 2019 to a famously divided reception, Westeros is still everywhere. Fans are waiting on the next book from George R. R. Martin, and on the gaming side Game of Thrones: War for Westeros is an upcoming RTS set in the same world, with Jon Snow among its central figures. Between a monthly mobile event cadence and a strategy game in the works, there’s plenty on the table right now.
