Bethesda may be making ‘Game of Thrones’ game, according to Target leak

Well then. Apparently, if a fuck-up at some assuredly demolished and buried Target is to be trusted, Bethesda is making a Game of Thrones game. I’m sure I’ll play it, if it exists, and jack off to it like the sloven I am, if it exists, but still. I would much prefer Bethesda gets releasing with their rumored science-fiction title that’s allegedly in the vein of Skyrim and Fallout.

UPROXX:

Like most leaks worth taking notice of, this one begins with an errant posting by a retailer. In this case, Target set up a landing page for something called “Bethesda: Game of Thrones” which was noticed by an eagle-eyed member of NeoGaf. Obviously, the only thing one can infer from this is that Bethesda, the makers of Skyrim, Fallout 3, 4 and so many other wonderfully and annoyingly deep RPGs, is making a Game of Thrones game. The page is still up (view it here!), but we’ll put a screenshot below, just in case.

The marriage between Game of Thrones and the relatively similar Skyrim have been around for years now due to mods in the Steam Workshop. Fans continue to create armor sets and full questlines featuring characters from Westeros that can easily be plugged into their game. Rather than HBO and George R. R. Martin depend on an underwhelming product from a small studio (the Telltale games were okay), why not go to the masters of the genre and have Bethesda build out a digital world of Westeros?
