The development team at Telltale Games has been long working on a Game of Thrones episodic game, and it seems that the experience might focus on members of House Forrester, which has been mentioned in the books written by George R.R. Martin but was never detailed or part of any major plot moment.

The information comes from an official image that was offered to IGN, and apparently gamers will be able to take control of at least one character from the bole house that has its residence near Wolfswood and is loyal to House Glover of Deepwood Motte, which in turn pledges its allegiance to the Starks of Winterfell.

It's unclear which moment in the chronology of the Game of Thrones universe the coming title will focus on, but Telltale has said that it plans to draw its inspiration mostly from the television series rather than from the books.

The game will focus on classic episodic game mechanics, which means that it will offer a lot of decisions for players to make, which will have long-term impact on the characters and the narrative.

The Game of Thrones title is expected to arrive at some point next year and might be tied to the fifth full season of the HBO television series.
