George R.R. Martin’s fantasy epic, A Song of Ice and Fire , has soared in popularity of late, grasping the pop-culture consciousness with an HBO mini-series that has, thus far, chronicled the events of the series’ first and most famous book: A Game of Thrones. Already, a strategy game based on the franchise has been unleashed on the masses, with a big-budget RPG in the works. There’s a second project under development, though, which has just had the covers thrown off: A Game of Thrones MMO. 
Yes, A Game of Thrones is getting the browser-MMO treatment, using the same Unity engine that powered Battlestar Galactica. For what it’s worth, though, that was a far more involved project than most browser-based gaming, and the first screenshot of this new MMO indicates that it, too, will take itself quite seriously. Here’s hoping for the best. By Shelby Reiches |
