Atlus Picks Up Game of Thrones For Early Next Year

Well the screenshots look decent but middleware these days can do wonderful things. Now one can be apprehensive that this is being put out by Atlus instead of HBO's corporate cousin Warner Brothers Interactive.

I should watch that show.

Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck.

Please.

Sequel is coming.

Does anybody else have a bad feeling about this?

It is known.

Cyanide Studios? Those are the dudes that make Pro Cycling Manager. Weird.

It's the same developer as the previous game? That's disheartening. Especially since they are going to pump it out so fast. Why does Atlus pick up these games to publish?

With Atlus I am very excited. But my dreams of the seven kingdoms united once again under Targaryen rule have been dashed. Hopefully one of the soldiers will be Ned Stark. If I cannot rule as a dragon , then the dire wolf is the next best thing.

Oh man, fingers crossed in hope this is better than the RTS they released last month.

Also, fantasy RPG is suddenly a very popular genre with this, Dark Souls, Skyrim, Reckoning and Dragon's Dogma all being released within 6 months.

Hopefully it's significantly better than Game of Thrones Genesis. A Dragon Age style RPG is just the right fit though, if they can pull it off.

Naked and headless. If you're lucky.

Something to look forward to.

Do we have to wait 5 years for a sequel?

Let me sing you a song of Ice and Fire, about how I never have to stress about that comment quest ever again! Forsooth!

[Insert winter is coming joke here]

Atlus has picked up the rights to publish Cyanide Studios’ action RPG simply titled Game of Thrones, an action RPG based on HBO’s show and with a brand-new story from author George R.R. Martin.

Players pick two original characters, described as “former soldiers of Robert’s Rebellion,” and will reportedly take place over 30 hours.

You won’t have to wait long for Game of Thrones, either, as Atlus has scheduled the game for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC in early 2012.
