The upcoming RPG based on the hit HBO TV show Game of Thrones will put players in the boots of an heir of minor Northern lord who is tasked with restoring order to their house.

Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is the latest game to take gamers to Westeros, but it certainly won't be the last, as Warner Bros announced during its closure of Monolith and two other studios last month that it would be turning its focus onto already established IPs with a track record of success. The publisher mentioned Game of Thrones when listing the IPs it wants to create new games for, meaning we will likely see another Game of Thrones title sometime in the future.
