I miss A Game of Thrones. Like a lot. The HBO series is over until next year. I’m done with the last book. What’s a Game of Thrones fanboy supposed to do?!? Thankfully Cyanide Studios’ PC game, A Game of Thrones: Genesis, comes out next week. While it doesn’t look breathtaking or anything, I’m looking forward to learning more about the events that led to George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. Plus, I really, really just want to go adventuring in Westeros!
Here are more details from the press release, followed by some screens:
Served by a well-developed single player campaign written under supervision of the author George R.R. Martin, “A Game of Thrones – Genesis” is a strategy game for PC that immerses you into the heart of the battles and intrigues between the Houses that shaped the Kingdom of Westeros. Live the origins of the A Song of Ice and Fire saga through more than 1000 years of History, and take part in Westeros’ founding events and largest battles such as Aegon the Conqueror’s invasion on the continent or the War of the Usurper.
Plunge into the heart of the continent of Westeros for a minute, while a Targaryen king is preparing to battle the Houses seeking to claim his Iron Throne. From the kingdom of Dorne in the South, to Winterfell and the famous Wall in the North, many will be the people he will have to subject to his rule. Military conquests, treachery, or diplomacy… all strategies are conceivable. What king will you choose to be?
Any of you interested in picking up this game? May a white walker bite your hand off if you’re not! (I’m kidding.)
