1. GoT would lend itself best to a big RPG type game and those are expensive and take awhile.

2. Political correctness. GoT done right would have a lot of brutal violence and copious nudity. Developers are scared shitless these days of offending anybody.

Not really, unless GoT you mean in terms of the show but not ASOIAF.

ASOIAF isn't about the hero and RPGs are usually HERO focused (esp in the west). The multiple PoVs makes it hard for me to select a genre witch best tells the story.

From what I remember the game from 2012 seemed like a cool action RPG. I'm not a GoT fan so I didn't check it out.


That game is somewhat underrated. Based off the books more so than the TV show though.

Yeah, Target put up a product page that just listed Bethesda: Game of Thrones as the title with nothing more.

However, Bethesda at E3 stated they are working on five games, and two of which are like their classical games, but bigger. So basically a bigger Skyrim, which would fit the mold of a GoT game. Hopefully they make a good statement on this soon

I think if Martin wants to add in more content and backstory, that's the way to go instead of books.
