The Game of Thrones action RPG will hit UK shelves this June and be supplied to retailers by Koch Media.
It’s based on the hugely successful ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ novels written by George R.R. Martin, which have sold over 15m copies worldwide. These spawned the hit TV show Game of Thrones which has just entered its second season on Sky Atlantic.
The upcoming Xbox 360, PS3 and PC game offers fans and players a brand new storyline which has been developed with creative input from Martin himself. It’s also powered by the popular Unreal Engine 3.
Gamers can take control of Sworn Brother of the Night’s Watch, Mors, or a Red Priest called Alester. They can visit familiar locations from the books such as King’s Landing and The Wall, as well as encounter key characters including Queen Cersei and the Night Watch’s Lord Commander Jeor Mormont.
Players can choose a class and fighting style before taking part in battles, acquiring new weapons and enhancing their abilities.
The Game of Thrones RPG is in development at Cyanide Studio and will be published by Focus Home Interactive.
Ubisoft released a Game of Thrones strategy game (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/ubisoft-signs-game-of-thrones-prequel/03633) last year. An MMO (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/artplant-creates-game-of-thrones-mmo/092151) is also in the works.
