14 DAY TRIAL // Video game developer and publisher Bigpoint has announced that the upcoming free-to-play video game, based on A Song of Ice and Fire that it is working on, will be called Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms.
The free-to-play title will allow players to create a character in the Seven Kingdoms setting and then embark on a series of adventures that will, at certain points, cross the story told in the HBO-made Game of Thrones series.
Max Pfaff, a producer working on the game at Bigpoint, stated, “Selecting a game’s title can be quite an arduous process, especially in the free-to-play space where games must be easily discoverable by players around the world.
“By selecting Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms we’re confident that we’ve chosen an identifiable name that will resonate with the global community of diehard Thrones fans.”
Gamers will be able to engage in political actions, but they will also be called upon to form groups and then head into Player versus Player battles in order to control various areas of Westeros.
Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms will enter a beta stage later in 2012 and will be officially launched next year.
