Dunk and Egg are coming to a mobile game, and the item attached to Egg is named after a famous line from the books. That’s the news: Game of Thrones: Legends, the puzzle RPG from Zynga, is adding the two characters from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms in September, along with a brand-new iconic item called “I Would Not Leave You Ser.”

Fans of the show have been waiting for a second season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which aired its first season. Now they have something else to hold onto: Dunk and Egg as summonable heroes in a game that already draws from the books and the TV series.

The Characters And The Item

Both Dunk and Egg are being added to the newly formed The Scattered Banners faction. Egg gets the exclusive item, which improves his healing abilities and adds a fire-retaliation power. The item description, per the game’s official press release, reads:

“Equip I Would Not Leave You Ser to turn Egg into an unwavering guardian for your squad. Landing a Critical Heal allows Egg to cleanse harmful debuffs while granting Block to protect his allies. Whenever a teammate receives a Critical Strike Chance Buff, Egg passively heals the entire team and if an enemy lands a Skill Critical Strike on an ally, Egg retaliates by setting that foe ablaze with Fire.”

The item is arriving alongside new ones for Joffrey and Melisandre. That trio of iconic items suggests Zynga is treating A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms as a franchise pillar rather than a one-off novelty.

The Faction And The Price

The Scattered Banners is the faction where Dunk and Egg will live in the game. Players who want to summon Egg will need to grind or spend money to get the requisite items, just as with other free-to-play mobile games. The game features several in-app purchases, and unlocking characters like Egg requires a fairly sizable sum for summons and character shards.

For players fully invested in the game, this update should make Egg a better summon. The item buffs his already solid healing, and the fire-retaliation effect gives him a combat role beyond simple support.

What Fans Get

This is not a video game adaptation of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. It is a mobile game adding two beloved characters from the books, plus an item named after a famous line. For fans who want more of the show, it is a small but meaningful addition.

The update arrives as A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2 details circulate online. The mobile game gives fans something to engage with until the next season arrives.

How The Game Works

Game of Thrones: Legends is a puzzle RPG that has been running since 2024. It adds new events based on iconic battles from the books and series, along with characters ranging from beloved minor players to the series’ core protagonists and antagonists. The game supports online multiplayer.

The Bottom Line

This is a clever move. Zynga is taking two characters from a novella that has become a cultural touchstone and putting them in a game that already has a large player base. The item itself is named after a famous line from the books.

It is not a full adaptation, and it is not free. But it is a nice addition to an already stuffed experience, especially for fans who have been waiting for more A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms content.

The item improves Egg, and the fact that it exists is a sign that the show’s popularity has made its characters a valuable property. For players who already own the game, this is a reason to log back in. For newcomers, it is a reason to consider jumping aboard.

The question of whether the item is worth the grind or the spend depends on how invested you are. Here’s a quick look at what each type of player might get out of it:

  • Casual players may enjoy it as a fun novelty.
  • Serious competitors could find it a meaningful upgrade.

Either way, it is a small win for fans of the show. Dunk and Egg are finally in a game, and the item gives them a reason to matter.
