Game of Thrones–Genesis Coming September 29th
So we’ve got a release date for the new Game of Thrones game and I’ve got some screenshots and other stuff for you…
A Game of Thrones – Genesis, the new strategy game developed for PC by Cyanide, today unveiled 5 new screenshots. Discover more about the video game adaptation of the great saga “A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R.R. Martin through these new images!
Faithful to the world imagined by George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones – Genesis emphasizes the backstabbing and political intrigues which are common in Westeros and the fight for the Iron Throne. Command the assassination of an opponent’s Great Lord, set up secret alliances, send a spy to take the place of the opponent’s unit, or harass his trade routes to weaken his economy. Treasons, espionage, kidnapping and ransoms… treachery is everywhere, so always watch your back!
It is also very possible, by cleverly using all the low blows the game allows you to use, to earn victory without ever entering an open war or recruiting any army. A real first in a real-time strategy game!
Of course, a military approach is valid as well! Raise an army, besiege enemy villages and castles, force them to submit to your rule, and crush all resistance. You truly have all options at your disposal to achieve victory and reach the Iron Throne!
A Game of Thrones – Genesis will release for PC in retail and digital stores on September 29th. The game will also be available in retail stores in a special Collector Edition including its exclusive metal box, the map of Westeros, and 2 pieces of artwork from the game.
