IGN has learned from multiple sources that Telltale Games is developing a game based on George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones.

It’s worth noting that, while “Game of Thrones” is the title of HBO’s series based on Martin’s books, the series itself is actually known as A Song of Ice and Fire, and the first book is titled Game of Thrones. It’s currently unclear what title Telltale will be using for its game, and whether the storyline will be based on the show, books, or something entirely new.

We reached out to Telltale and received the following statement from Steve Allison, SVP of Publishing:

“We get these sorts of rumors about what we could be working on next cropping up all the time. Officially we have no comment.”

Telltale has a long history of licensed properties, ranging from Jurassic Park to Back to the Future and, more recently, The Walking Dead and Fables. In October, Telltale CEO Dan Connors said that Telltale “can’t wait” to announce its upcoming projects, and noted that it’s working on licenses that “definitely fall into our dream IP scenario.” Interestingly, Martin’s Game of Thrones books famously tell the story from a different character’s point of view in each chapter, a strategy Telltale recently tried out in The Walking Dead’s 400 Days DLC.

Telltale’s Game of Thrones game joins other recent Game of Thrones projects including browser-based MMO Game of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms from Bigpoint, the Game of Thrones RPG from Atlus, and strategy title Game of Thrones: Genesis from Focus Home Interactive.

Beyond Game of Thrones, Telltale is currently working on the second episode of The Wolf Among Us as well as a follow-up season to The Walking Dead.

meanwhile, they cant even fulfill their promise to drop the wolf amongst us every other month. these guys love doubling down and not focusing on one game at a time.

I wonder what this would be. it seems Telltale likes to stay away from the main story. maybe a prequel, or some kind of side character?

Its going to be some nights watch shyt.....

Or maybe.... A prequel

Regardless they have my money

But yeah.... I'm holding off on reading those fables graphic novels until I finish off that game, I don't want reading that shyt to effect the way I play or spoil anything.

Multiple episodes detailing all the different families and how they came or lost power would be the way to go.

I thought their surprise was a Star Wars game

So they got GOT, Borderlands, TWD season 3, and TWAU Season 2 all at the same time. I dunno if they can handle all of that
