The development team at Telltale Games is finally ready to offer some actual information on the upcoming Game of Thrones episodic game series, confirming that gamers will be able to confront members of House Forrester and will have to deal with a number of major threats to their lands and their security.

The official site of the company confirms information that fans have already been able to extrapolate from a number of teaser images that have been offered in the last few months.

The Telltale Games-made Game of Thrones video game will be offered on the PlayStation 4 from Sony, the Xbox One from Microsoft, the PC and last-gen consoles and the first episode will be delivered to gamers before the end of the year.

The studio also mentions additional platforms and explains that the first season will have six full episodes.

Telltale Games states, "Based on HBO's award-winning television drama, Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series tells the story of House Forrester. Caught up in the events of The War of the Five Kings, they are placed in a precarious position where members of the household must do everything they can to prevent the house from meeting its doom."

House Forrester will become important as events in the game world move towards the end of season three of the HBO-created television series and the list of locations that will be featured include King's Landing and The Wall.

The seat of House Forrester is Ironrath and the family resides in the Wolfswood in the north of Westeros, sword to serve House Glover and the Starks.

It seems that the main rivals featured in the video game pertain to a House called Whitehill, which aims to secure the ironwood resources in the area, which are used to create weapons, ships and fortifications.

There are five characters, all members of House Forrester, that gamers can control and they are linked to locations in both Westeros and Essos, with the decisions made by each of them able to influence the choices that are offered to all others.

Telltale Games has not offered any details on the actual narrative of its Game of Thrones title, but more information will probably be introduced soon if the company wants to make sure that the first episode is launched before the end of the year.
