Love Telltale’s ‘Game Of Thrones’? Another Season Is On Its Way!

Briefly: Just a few days after Telltale’s Game of Thrones concluded its celebrated first season, the company has officially revealed that, you guessed it, the game will be getting another season.

The news comes from a THR interview with Telltale CEO and Co-Founder Kevin Brunner, who noted that “When we initially announced the series in 2013, we let everyone know this would be a multi-title, multiyear partnership with HBO. After this week’s finale, I’m pleased to officially confirm that there will be a second season of Telltale’s Game of Thrones series and that it’s currently in development.”

Brunner continues, explaining that the development cycle of Telltale’s titles is actually quite similar to television production:

While we cannot divulge any of the specific details, we can say that Telltale’s approach to game development is much more like television than most other game developers. Across all of our series — The Walking Dead, Minecraft: Story Mode and more — the development process at Telltale spends a significant amount of time upfront in the writer’s rooms not just with writers, but designers, directors and creative input from all across the studio. It’s not unusual for our games to exist longer on whiteboards and sticky notes and in scripts than they do in traditional game production. It’s incredibly similar to how TV often spends so much time in preproduction and planning before moving into actually shooting. It’s from then on that we take the live development aspect into play, observing the audience and their feedback as we adjust and build upon the experience along the way.

The interview contains several spoilers for the just-concluded first season of the title, so if you still haven’t completed Game of Thrones’ first season, I’d probably avoid it.
