Telltale’s Game of Thrones launch trailer finds the Forresters dealing with some sinister forces

In anticipation of the game’s debut episode, set to release tomorrow on PS4, PC, and Mac, Telltale has unveiled a launch trailer for Game of Thrones: Episode One – Iron from Ice.

The trailer focuses on the protagonists, House Forrester (who seem like Telltale’s stand-in for the Starks, at least based on the images and videos released so far). They’re a northern family loyal to House Stark—and, in the world of Game of Thrones, of course, that means many powerful enemies. Telltale’s game takes place within the timeframe of what’s already aired on the hit HBO fantasy series—from Season 3 to just before the start of next year’s Season 5—so it’ll be interesting to see how events from the TV show manifest themselves in these six episodes.

In addition to its PS4, PC, and Mac launch tomorrow, Iron from Ice hits the Xbox One and Xbox 360 on December 3rd, iOS on December 4th, and the PS3 on December 9th.

Far Cry 4 launch trailer offers crash course in Kyrat, Ubi says no plans for Blood Dragon sequel

Far Cry 4’s eight-minute-long “101” [Blood Dragon] offers a crash course in everything you need to know about Kyrat and the game in time for its upcoming release.

The trailer, which features annotations for viewers to choose the topics they’re most interested in, covers the Himalayan nation itself, its inhabitants, the weapons and vehicles available, the skills and crafting protagonist Ajay Ghale will need to survive, Shangri-la, side-quests, and the game’s co-op and PVP components.

In other Far Cry news, creative director Alex Hutchinson confirmed there would not be another Blood Dragon spinoff for this new Far Cry installment while appearing on IGN AU’s Happy Hour podcast. He did, however, indicate that the team at Ubisoft do have something equally as “surprising” in mind.

“It [Blood Dragon] was a great use of the Far Cry 3 base, and had an awesome soundtrack,” Hutchinson told IGN. “But no, you won’t get another one of those. But hopefully we’ll be able to surprise you with something just as much.”

Far Cry 4 launches on Windows PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS3, and Xbox 360 next week, on November 18 in North America and the U.K. and November 20 in Europe and Australia. January 22, 2015 for Japan, but somehow I don’t think they care.
