Screenshots from Telltale’s Game of Thrones adventure leaked?
Telltale Games is normally tight-lipped about their upcoming releases, but Twitter account @lifeflower has leaked eight screenshots apparently of the Game of Thrones adventure game’s first episode, “Iron from Ice”. They’re not confirmed, but as Game Informer says, they look exactly like what we might expect from a Telltale adventure. (Here’s shots from The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us for comparison.)
In addition to Tyrion, above, Margaery and Cersei are both depicted, indicating that the game isn’t shying away from having the main characters from the show appear on-screen. This can be dangerous, if they look, sound, or behave accurately. Alternately, Telltale may be doing what they did with the first Walking Dead episode, where they introduced canonical show characters Hershel and Glenn to reinforce the authenticity of the game before sending the new characters on their own adventure.
See the two queens, as well as what’s probably the playable Forrester family, below….
Telltale’s stylization seems to widen and flatten faces into slight caricatures, which works well for Margaery, I think.
But I think it does Cersei fewer favors. Hopefully she looks better while animated.
Based on the banner, I’m assuming this is Lady Forrester–she looks like an amalgamation between Sansa and Cat, oddly.
A scene from a thousand video games and fantasy novels….
These dudes look like Freys to me. (Update: A Twitter follower suggests that the guy on the left looks like Ramsay Snow, which I can kind of see in the eyes, but the hair seems too dark.)
And a couple more pics of new characters, some of whom I’m going to presume are important and playable. The blood splatters also show that there’ll be stakes from the beginning, but that’s not unexpected.
