If it's Arkane I will be so freaking happy.
"Winter is coming"
god I can't imagine the sub par writing that would go into this.
Would Much rather like to see a paradox style grand strategy title where I get to be one of the houses out for the throne. Throw in total war like tactical battles and man, that would be so cool!
It's not like the other available GoT games are masterpieces.Ouch... Bethesda? I thought Martin had famously high quality standards.
If they aren't setting the game during the events leading up to and during Robert's Rebellion, they're doing it wrong. That time period has a shit load of characters we care about and would be a great setting for a game.
Edit: I am hijacking my own post to feverishly gush over my own GoT vidja game pitch.
My pie-in-the-sky dream GoT game would be set before, during and after the rebellion taking place across the entire continent of Westeros sans perhaps north of the wall.
Imagine if the player character was a bastard born in one of the nine major regions (North, Vale, Iron Islands, Riverlands, Crownlands, Stormlands, Reach, Westerlands, Dorne), with the player choosing where they want their character to be from and which house they serve. They story at the beginning would differ depending on where you start from, but all 9 paths would mostly follow the same beats: the tourney at Harrenhal, battle of Ashford, The Trident, sack of King's Landing etc.
Your ultimate goal is to assist your liege lord in either defending the crown (Targaryen, Lannister, Tyrell, Martell), overthrowing the crown (Baratheon, Stark, Tully, Arryn) or take advantage of the chaos and reave where you please (Greyjoy).
Your skill tree could have 9 branches: Father, Mother, Maiden, Smith, Crone, Warrior, Stranger, The Old Gods and The Drowned God.
NPC's refer to you by your bastard surname (Snow, Stone, Pyke, Rivers, Waters, Storm, Flowers, Hill or Sand) for maximum immersion
Side quest potential is enormous here:
-Recruit/capture potential brothers for The Night's Watch
-take care of The Smiling Knight
-find all of the Weirwoods in Westeros to see visions of the past and future
-beat back Hill Tribesmen in The Vale
-investigate reports of a Faceless Man sighted in Westeros
-investigate an underground cult of religious fanatics called "Sparrows", join or destroy them
-fuck all the whores in Westeros and "make the 8"
-study at The Citadel in Oldtown like a nerd
-assist the head of customs in Gulltown with shady dealings (some dude named Petyr? Seems trustworthy)
-go to Gin Alley in King's Landing and give Karl Fookin' Tanner 6 silvers to kill a man
EZ DLC MONEY:
Greyjoy Rebellion DLC
"Beyond The Wall" expansion (Bronn mentioned he's been north of the wall before, get him in there)
Where's my check GRRM
Basically, that same leaker said that Elder Scrolls 6 and 7 were in development and that Elder Scrolls and Fallout are in the same universe with Elder Scrolls being Fallout's far future. Also, Starfield is set in that same universe and serves as some sort of transition game.Months or so ago a self-proclaimed leaker at Bethesda claimed that there was a GoT game in development at Bethesda. His other claims got busted at E3 tho (don't remember the exact details).
I dunno, I managed to recreate basically being Bronn pretty wellGoT mod is not bad, has a sandbox approach, intrigues and plots are unfeasible
limited by the what the game can do and hard as hell though

CDPR or GTFO.
A 2022 or 2023 release is not what that IP needs.
Someone call the hot take police we have an emergencyIf you want to imagine it, just watch season 7 of Game of Thrones
Forge your own Valyrian steel sword.
Game of Thrones doesn't seem like it would translate very well into a game franchise.

If Bethesdas making the game you can expect your title to be longer than Danys.
edit:
Like you will be heading up the Nights Watch, the Seven church, the Lord of Light, the Faceless Men all at the same time.. might even get to be Hand or even King/Queen itself.

So pretty much a game where you play Jon Snow.If Bethesdas making the game you can expect your title to be longer than Danys.

Why do we hate bethesda now? Skyrim
And fallout 4 were pretty good
Eh, with Bethesda it's a little more than that. Fallout 4 was a smack in the face of a lot of RPG and Fallout fans. Bethesda completwly ignoring the existence of New Vegas just added to that.Popularity. The more popular something is, the more flaws are blown out of proportion.
The hate is clearly for Bethesda Game Studios specifically.I don't really get the hate of Bethesda as a publisher. THey've published Dishonored 1 & 2, Prey, Doom, and Wolfenstein in the last few years, 5 of the best single player games from this era.
For that pitch, Bethesda is not the developer you should be looking at.[...]

The Crusader Kings II mod is the best Game of Thrones game possible.
Dragons? No problem. Weirwoods grant playable "visions" of whenever the hell dragons were around.It'll be disappointing if this isn't it.
At the same time I imagine Bethesda would want some dragons and whatnot.
Fun fact: Bethesda actually turned down an offer to make an ASOIAF game in favor for Skyrim.I don't think Bethesda Game Studios is making this because why spend the money on a license when you can do an Elder Scrolls and still make around the same amount of money?
