'Game Of Thrones' (ALL) Shows Off Battlefield Action - Screens

Game of Thrones is an action RPG based on the internationally bestselling A Song of Ice and Fire series of books by George R. R. Martin and critically acclaimed HBO television series, Game of Thrones.

With an original story written under the supervision of Martin, "Game of Thrones" promises to deliver the ultimate interactive role-playing experience for fans.  The game is filled with familiar locations straight from the pages of the beloved fantasy saga along with the likeness of some actors portrayed in the series.

With over 15 million books sold worldwide and a hit television adaptation that was the winner of two prime time Emmy awards, the A Song of Ice and Fire series is one of the most popular fantasy franchises of all time.  Now fans will have a chance to not simply read or watch the series, but to take an active role in the new riveting drama as it unfolds.

Intense and tactical battles in Game of Thrones pit players against merciless opponents. They will need to be aware of the battle situation at every moment or they will soon encounter their bitter fate! 

Anticipating the actions of the enemy and countering their moves will be necessary to emerge victorious from combat. With a large variety of character classes, elaborate skill trees and a broad range of weaponry and armors, all players will find something that suits their needs. By planning the best tactics, they will be able to win even the most difficult battles!


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.

Standing before the majesty and bitter isolation of the Wall or walking through the streets and alleys of King's Landing, players will not simply pass by locations and characters integral to the series; they will explore and interact with them, meeting and learning about the people and history that defines them and their importance.  Key decisions and major events will have meaningful impact on Westeros, allowing the player to witness how the game world evolves over time based on their actions or inactions.  Moreover, "Game of Thrones" introduces an innovative "active slowdown tactical combat engine" in which combat mirrors the series' thoughtful approach to war and politics: fighting slows but never stops entirely, forcing the player to make quick, pressured choices before their enemy strikes again.

Starting now, all Steam pre-orders of the game include FREE access to the Prima Official eGuide for Game of Thrones! This amazing digital guide, accessible through the Steam overlay, includes all the secrets of the game, over 40 interactive maps, a comprehensive walkthrough to unlock all endings, expert tips, more than 130 exclusive codex entries, and much more!
