Telltale Games Debuting Game of Thrones Very Soon [UPDATED]

UPDATE: Telltale has published a blog with new details about the series, including its setting and premise...

"Our game series is based on the world, characters and events seen in HBO's TV show, which in turn is based on George R. R. Martin's books (A Song of Ice and Fire). The events in our game series begin towards the end of Season Three of the TV show, and end right before the beginning of Season Five. You will visit familiar locations such as King's Landing and The Wall, as well as unfamiliar locations such as Ironrath, the home of House Forrester.

House Forrester is a noble house from the Wolfswood in the north of Westeros. Bannermen to House Glover, they have always offered unswerving loyalty to the ruling great house of the North – the Starks. The Forresters are seated at Ironrath, an imposing stronghold surrounded by towering ironwood trees. Built over fifteen hundred years ago by Cedric Forrester and his triplet sons, Ironrath is a testament to the strength and endurance of Ironwood. The Forrester house words are 'Iron from Ice', which echoes their belief that - like the ironwood itself - the adverse conditions and unforgiving landscape of the North only makes them stronger.

Ironrath sits on the edge of the largest ironwood forest in Westeros, which has proven to be a strategic advantage for the House. The trees are a valuable commodity; many of the best weapons, ships, and defensive structures include the use of ironwood. House Forrester controls the majority of the ironwood forests in the Wolfswood, much to the chagrin of their bitter rivals, House Whitehill."

We still don't have a release date, but it's "soon" on every platform around.

It's been a few months since Telltale Games released an episode in any series, following the conclusion of The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, but the studio's teasing a premiere for Game of Thrones.

The first episode (of six) is called "Iron From Ice," and a tweet from the company suggests its release isn't far off.

One suspects Telltale wouldn't be saying "soon" unless it meant before the year is up. There's no release date for Tales From the Borderlands, either, but it's looking like we'll have alternating series pretty soon.
