Rumours have been confirmed today with Telltale Games set to produce an episodic Game of Thrones adventure series. This news was delivered via Spike’s VGX awards and also the Telltale Games official Twitter. The game is to be based on the hugely popular HBO television series, however, the studio has also stated it will draw upon all forms of the George R.R Martin’s fantasy fiction for inspiration.
The series is due for a 2014 release. The gameplay will be similar to previous Telltale Games episodic adventures, such as The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, but the studio has stated their desire to feature big battles which is a staple in Westeros. Other information such as what characters or time period we’d expect to see, or what platforms will receive the game are yet to be released.
