RPG powerhouseBethesda Game Studios, creator of the belovedFalloutandThe Elder Scrollsfranchises may be working on aGame of Thronesgame title based on an unfinished page on Target’s website.
Bethesda Game of Thrones Title in The Works!?
TheTarget page, which was first spotted by aNeoGAF user, is still up and has not been taken down as of this publication.
There isn’t much to see aside from a large header that says: “Bethesda Game of Thrones” and the category labels point that it’s meant to be a featured product but take note that there is nothing labeling this as a video game. You can see a screenshot below:
Bethesda having dabbled in the medieval setting teeming with dragons and sorcery in the likes of their Elder Scrolls franchise may just be the studio to give us a proper Game of Thrones title on the same standard akin to its TV series. Though this listing confirms nothing, we do know Bethesda has been keeping at least five projects under wraps.
“We have two larger projects that are more classically the scale of what we do, but even bigger,” studio director Todd Howard said earlier this year.
This could be the chance for Bethesda to craft the RPG gem among the Game of Thrones titles already in existence, should this leak prove to be true. We’ve already seen one RPG version ofGame of Thronesby Cyanide Studios and Focus Home Interactive in 2012.
Then in 2012 again, a Game of thrones MMORPG,Game of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms, was announced and revealed atGDC, but apparently fell into the void of development hell and shut down its official website in 2014.Telltale released an episodic interpretation of the series,Game of Thrones: A Telltale GameSeries, in 2014, and is now working on a second season.
This listing may have been purely by mistake, but it isn’t too far-fetched. We may get announcement soon to clarify what this really is considering the wrap up of season 7 for the Game of Thrones TV series.
