Target leaks possible Bethesda Game of Thrones game

4.3
Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire haven’t had a lot of luck when it comes to video game adaptations. Aside from excellent mods for the likes of Crusader Kings 2, most of them have been disappointing. Could Bethesda do better? A page on American retailer Target’s website suggests that they might be trying.

The Bethesda: Game of Thrones page was spotted by NeoGAF in the featured brands section, and only contains what sounds like a placeholder title. With no other details or accompanying announcements, it’s clearly a mistake on Target’s part, but whether the mistake was in jumping the gun or making a page for a non-existent product remains to be seen.

Certainly, with years of fantasy RPGs under their belt, Bethesda is well-positioned to craft a Game of Thrones RPG, and they’re no strangers to dragons and civil wars. It’d be interesting to see how a developer known for nonlinear, exploration driven adventurers would tackle such a character-driven property.

The last Game of Thrones RPG was Cyanide’s very rough attempt, and though it spun a decent yarn and explored things only briefly touched on in the show, it didn’t do much to impress elsewhere.

So far, Bethesda haven’t responded to the Target leak.

Hmmmmm. Not sure. I mean they done this with The Walking Dead, and it was shit. If they do make this they need to make sure they stick to the relevant stories and not make up useless shit no one wants...

SilkyPosted:

Would love to see this but I don't imagine it will happen.

XboxPosted:

Sadly this is not true. Would of been neatto experience.

MickersPosted:

As a game seems a bit leave it.

JastyPosted:

I read this was fake, shame it would be kind of interesting to see something like this.

FourStarPosted:

Its fake, this has already been announced as a misunderstanding.

Also whats the point, it would literally be Skyrim but with different player models.

BPMPosted:

Heard this was a misunderstanfing and pretty sure Bethesda had been offered this before and they rejected it. They dont want to be tied down to someone elses story, they were all about making their story.

GaryPosted:

I hope this is true. A game of thrones RPG similar to Skyrim/Fallout style would be amazing.

EchoPosted:

This would be great, I'm a guy who loves leaks tbh not sure why, Game of Thrones is the shit!

FibrilPosted:

This would be interesting to see, if it follows the show and which characters you can play as.
