Responsible for creating games for The Walking Dead and Borderlands, Telltale is now introducing a Game of Thrones video game that will immerse GOT fans in the world of Westeros. The first part of the game, 'Iron from Ice' is now available for PC, MAC and PlayStation, introducing a new house to the already complicated medieval world.
The game will give players the chance to control five members of House Forrester, and interact with characters from the TV show like Tyrion and Cersei Lannister, Margaery Tyrell and Ramsay Snow. Like most Telltale Games creations, the choices that you make in-game will affect gameplay and determine future plot points. Iron from Ice begins near the end of season three and will take players through to the beginning of the highly-anticipated season five.
