HBO’s Game of Thrones is officially over, but the series is continuing with a two-hour documentary on May 26 and then potentially a new prequel TV show. Outside of TV, it appears a new Game of Thrones video game may be in the works. Author George R.R. Martin wrote on his blog that he did some consulting work on a video game. He never says it is a Game of Thrones game, but the franchise is his biggest and best-known, so it is a safe bet, though not confirmed.

Martin said this mysterious game is being developer "out of Japan." Gematsu reports that Sekiro, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls developer FromSoftware is working on the game, which is an open-world title featuring horse-riding. Hidetaka Miyazaki is reportedly working on the title with Martin.

The game is said to be published by Bandai Namco, with a reveal at Microsoft’s E3 2019 briefing planned for June. The game has reportedly been in development for three years. Gematsu notes that it only confirmed this information with a single source but decided to publish its story in light of Martin’s blog post revealing a new game in development by a Japanese studio.

It would definitely be an intriguing development to learn that From Software was working on a Game of Thrones title from Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin. It is the kind of announcement that would be a huge get for Microsoft if it were to premiere at the Xbox E3 briefing. Even if the cat is out of the bag now–if this is even real–it’s exciting to think about.

From Software’s latest big release was Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which was published by Call of Duty publisher Activision. The game was received well by critics and it sold more than 2 million copies around the world in less than 10 days.
