Game of Thrones (2014 video game)  Game of Thrones is an episodic graphic adventure video game based on the TV series of the same name, which in turn, is based on George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" fantasy series, released in December 2014 for Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The game was developed by Telltale Games and follows the episodic format found in other Telltale titles, such as "The Walking Dead", "The Wolf Among Us" and "Tales from the Borderlands", where player choices and actions influence later events across the six-episode arc. The story revolves around the northern House Forrester, rulers of Ironrath, whose members, including the five playable characters, attempt to save their family and themselves after ending up on the losing side of the War of the Five Kings. The game includes settings, characters, and voice actors from the novels and TV series. A second season had been planned but was placed on hold in 2017, amid restructuring issues at Telltale Games, and ultimately was cancelled following Telltale's majority studio closure in September 2018. After previous video games based on his works received negative or mediocre critical responses, George R. R. Martin opined that he wanted "a "Game of Thrones" game to be made by a studio that knows how to create a thrilling and interesting story". Telltale Games has found critical success in several licensed adventure games, including their "The Wolf Among Us" and "The Walking Dead" episodic video game series. "Game of Thrones" arose from internal discussions within Telltale of what other popular franchises they wanted to write games around, with much support given for "Game of Thrones", considering its emotional equivalence to "The Walking Dead". They approached HBO with the concept, and after a year of negotiations, were able to secure the license. In December 2013, Telltale announced "Game of Thrones" at the 2013 Spike VGX video game awards program. George R. R. Martin stated that his personal assistant, Ty Corey Franck, is working with Telltale Games as a "story consultant". Telltale's CEO Dan Connors explained that the game will not be a prequel to the television series, that the established world and timeline of "Game of Thrones" is allowing Telltale to explore fixed stories in more depth, to appeal to players. "Game of Thrones" is an episodic point-and-click graphic adventure fantasy drama video game, released as 6 episodes following the model of Telltale's previous adventure games.
