Game of Thrones – A Telltale Games Series, which tells the story of House Forrester, will launch soon on PC/Mac, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and iOS, Telltale has announced. Additional platforms are to be announced at a later date.
Set towards the end of series three and right before the start of season five, House Forrester is caught up in events of the The War of the Five Kings, with members of the household forced to do everything they can to prevent the house from an early grave.
The game will see players visit familiar locations such as King’s Landing and The Wall, as well as unfamiliar locations such as Ironrath, the home of House Forrester.
House Forrester has not appeared in the HBO show, but they are canon in the world created by George R. R. Martin. It is a noble house from the Wolfswood in the north of Westeros.
“Bannermen to House Glover, they have always offered unswerving loyalty to the ruling great house of the North – the Starks. The Forresters are seated at Ironrath, an imposing stronghold surrounded by towering ironwood trees,” explains Telltale. “Built over fifteen hundred years ago by Cedric Forrester and his triplet sons, Ironrath is a testament to the strength and endurance of Ironwood. The Forrester house words are ‘Iron from Ice’, which echoes their belief that – like the ironwood itself – the adverse conditions and unforgiving landscape of the North only makes them stronger.”
Telltale adds: “Ironrath sits on the edge of the largest ironwood forest in Westeros, which has proven to be a strategic advantage for the House. The trees are a valuable commodity; many of the best weapons, ships, and defensive structures include the use of ironwood. House Forrester controls the majority of the ironwood forests in the Wolfswood, much to the chagrin of their bitter rivals, House Whitehill.”
The game will be played from the points of view of five members of House Forrester, either a direct family member, or a person in service to the House. Each character will play their part saving the house from destruction. Actions of one character can affect the rest of House Forrester, with potentially life or death consequences.
There’s still no firm release date, but Telltale says episode one, Iron From Ice, will be available for download soon.
