House of the Dragon returns with a surprise mini arc

What the House of the Dragon mini arc includes

A surprise "mini arc" arrives on 10 August, not on screen, but inside the hit mobile game Game of Thrones: Conquest, giving Irish fans of the Sky and NOW drama another reason to head back to Westeros.

The limited-time House of the Dragon mini arc runs until 24 August as part of Conquest's month-long "History and Visions" event, developer WB Games Boston confirmed.

It is billed as the fourth and final House of the Dragon mini arc in the game.

The tie-in lands just after a Season 3 run that split viewers: the death of Jace diverged sharply from George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood, while Aegon II's reunion with his dragon Sunfyre, a showcase for Tom Glynn-Carney, was hailed as a series high.

Fans can find more must-watch HBO drama to stream in Ireland while they wait.

For now there is no word on when a Season 4 will film or air.

In Ireland, House of the Dragon streams on Sky Atlantic and NOW, so newcomers still have time to catch up before the next chapter of the Targaryen civil war.

The mini arc, first reported by Screen Rant, is a stopgap for a fanbase still processing a rollercoaster season, and proof HBO's dragons remain a draw across every platform.
