Telltale Games' upcoming Game of Thrones game is set to have five playable protagonist characters, with choices made effecting the game's central family.
The news comes from Telltale's senior vice president of publishing, Steve Allison. The details emerged during an interview he was giving about a different game series entirely, the release for The Walking Dead Season Two.
While describing how Telltales' use of storytelling has evolved he said, "Tales from the Borderlands adds multi-protagonist storytelling for us layered into the tailored narrative design established with The Walking Dead and it works amazingly well with two playable characters... In Game of Thrones we're taking that multi-protagonist design even further with five playable characters from the same family whose choices affect everyone in the family, and that adds a whole new layer to things that we're really excited about."
We don't yet know which family is being considered for the central roles but the game will be arriving soon, Telltale having confirmed that they're aiming for a release of Game of Thrones before the end of the year.
