A Song of Ice and Fire – latest news

Cyanide, an independent development studio, and the well-known author George RR Martin have announced that they have entered into an agreement related to creating the first videogames based on his extremely popular series “A Song of Ice and Fire.” The two parties are saying that the development on the projects has already begun and that further details will be announced soon.

"We are all huge fans of ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’, so it is a true honour for our teams to be entrusted with creating the first video games inspired by this masterpiece," stated Patrick Pligersdorffer, Managing Director of Cyanide.

In 1996, George RR Martin began work on “A Song of Ice and Fire”, a series of books inspired by the War of the Roses (a series of civil wars fought between the House of York (white rose) and the House of Lancaster (red rose) for the English throne in the 15th century). The fourth book; “A Feast of Crows” became The New York Times No.1 bestseller.
