Game of Thrones Comes To Game Consoles In 2012

 

I believe that by now most people are familiar with the hit HBO television series, Game of Thrones. If you’re not, please briefly minimise this window, go and procure season one of the show, watch it and re-maximise this window.

The Game of Thrones series is simply epic and in 2012 gamers will be able to experience this as HBO and Cyanide Studios have announced plans to develop a Game of Thrones action RPG for Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Publishers of the game, Atlus, had this to say:

“In this 30-plus hour action RPG, players will enter the gritty and medieval fantasy world of Westeros. As one of two original characters with disparate motivations, both former soldiers of Robert’s Rebellion, players will forge alliances and wage battles as they play a pivotal role in the ongoing war for power of the Seven Kingdoms. Their journey will span numerous quests, during which they will interact with many characters and make key decisions that impact the realm.”

Game of Thrones is based off the epic fantasy novel series, A Song of Ice and Fire. Cyanide Studios want you to be assured that the story line of the game won’t be lacking as they have confirmed that George R. R. Martin, the author of the novels, will be working closely with them on the project. Martin was selected by Time magazine as one of the “2011 Time 100,” a list of the “most influential people in the world.”

In addition to this, there is also talk of a free MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online) and a social game (which I believe will be on Facebook) based on the Game of Thrones series to be released also in 2012.

More information about the game will be coming to the official Game of Thrones game website.
