A Game of Thrones Has More Games On The Way

A Game of Thrones Has More Games On The Way

None

As if the world were running short on fantasy-themed MMOs, Bigpoint, the company behind the browser-based Battlestar Galactica Online, is planning to launch a new MMO based on George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones franchise.

But, that’s not the only Thrones-themed title that will be landing on your computer next year. There’s also talk of a social networking game similar to FarmVille. Though, I highly doubt that anyone would release a farming sim based on A Game of Thrones. I think we can all assume that comparing it to FarmVille was probably just some kind name dropping.



Also, just for the record, an RTS called A Game of Thrones: Genesis was recently released, and an RPG simply called Game of Thrones is currently in development. So, that makes four Thrones titles in less than 12 months. I wonder if any of these developers knows the meaning of “market saturation.”

Either way, both the MMO and the social networking title will be released in 2012. So, if you’re a fan of the HBO series, books, board games, RPGs, RTSs, or any of the other Thrones products, keep your ear to the ground.

Or maybe you should try out a new franchise? I hear Lord of the Rings is cool.
