From the creators of the acclaimed Walking Dead adventure games comes your first possibly decent video game foray into the world of Westeros. Thanks to a cryptic tweet from Telltale Games, we can now start to speculate about their Game of Thrones adventure series.
PAX: CD Projekt RED Showing Live Witcher 3 Demo
The tweet consists of a quote from A Dance With Dragons, talking of the woodsman houses of the North, sworn to our favorite unlucky fantasy hero family the Starks.
The enlarged font on House Forrester would seem to indicate that this'll probably be a heavily featured house - possibly even the main character's family. It's a house that hasn't actually been featured on-page yet, so there's a lot to be mined there.

The hashtag #IronFromIce suggests the Iron Islanders ruled by the Greyjoys, and the area around Deepwood Motte (the Forrester abode) was indeed an oft-raided territory by these Viking-like marauders.
PAX: Tales From The Borderlands Will Have Playable Demo
Stuff we don't know yet: A release date more specific than 2014, the temporal setting of the game (though the quote from A Dance With Dragons would seem to suggest around that time, and it's also around the time the show's upcoming fifth season will be set, so it's quite likely), the appearance of any big TV show/book characters.
Game of Thrones will be released to PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
