One of the biggest surprises from VGX was the announcement of a Game of Thrones title coming from Telltale Games. If anyone can create a good game based on the series cast of convoluted characters, it is Telltale. HBO have also confirmed that it will be based on the TV series rather than the original books. This should mean that many, if not all, of the actors may be performing as their digital counter-parts
Even better, Telltale will be part of a “multi-year, multi-title partnership“, meaning there will be more than one game. In a media release discovered by Polygon, the studio will be creating an episodic series of games over a number of years. This may mean then that the game series may release next to the next series of the TV show next year.
It is still unknown how the game will fit in the overall plot. Will it be a prequel, a side-story or something else? No one knows by this point, apart from Telltale anyway.
