What happened
Game of Thrones: Legends is said to be getting a limited-time summon event under the name Hand of the King. The report ties the event to a selection of Legendary Champions that mostly come from House Stark, plus a separate variant of Jon Snow. In the information provided, the event is described as a temporary content update for the mobile game, with fixed start and end dates and a dedicated currency for summons.
The stated run time is 23 September at 4:00 a.m. ET through 21 October at 2:00 a.m. ET. Players would need Exalted Tokens for summons, suggesting a contained gacha-style event within the game’s existing event structure. According to the report, the event pool is made up of six Legendary Champions: Ned Stark, Sansa Stark, Arya Stark, Catelyn Stark, Robb Stark, and Jon Snow (King in the North). That puts a clear spotlight on characters from the Stark family, along with a specific Jon Snow variant.
The provided information does not include official confirmation from the publisher, so the roster, timing, and currency should be treated as reported details. The source does give a concrete window and a concrete number of characters, but without additional official documentation in the material, it cannot be confirmed whether the full roster is final or could still change before the 23 September start.
Timeline
2022 — A Jon Snow TV spin-off is reportedly confirmed; the provided information does not include an official update from HBO or the creators about any revival.
23 September, 4:00 a.m. ET — Start of the Hand of the King summon event in Game of Thrones: Legends, according to the report.
23 September to 21 October — The event period reportedly runs for a little over four weeks, with a temporary summon pool and Exalted Tokens as currency.

Background
The report also references a Jon Snow TV spin-off that was confirmed in 2022. According to the article, that project now appears to be on hold, but the provided information does not include a direct official update from HBO or the creators. As a result, that reference remains background context alongside the game event itself, rather than additional confirmation of new TV developments.
The game itself, Game of Thrones: Legends, uses an event structure in this report with a limited duration and a separate summon currency. The combination of six Legendary Champions and a fixed event window from 23 September to 21 October makes this a clearly defined content update. The characters listed all come from the broader Game of Thrones canon, with House Stark dominating the selection and Jon Snow (King in the North) appearing as a separate variant within the same thematic line.
The source also explicitly calls it a summon event, meaning the content is focused on obtaining characters through a temporary pool rather than adding them permanently to the standard roster. Because the provided information does not include official patch notes, a developer statement, or a publisher announcement, the exact details remain dependent on the original reporting. That also applies to whether the mentioned Exalted Tokens are exclusive to this event or part of a broader in-game economy.
