According to the press release, "The Game of Thrones," which is based on the book "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R.R. Martin, will be formatted for home computers, PC/Mac, and mobile devices.
"Working with HBO to develop a new game series based on 'Game of Thrones' is a natural fit for our studio," the press release stated.

It will put them in control of the epic stories of warfare, intrigue, violence and revenge that we know and love."
Created by David Benioff and D.B Weiss for television, the Emmy Award-winning television program has won over a large audience with their mix of politics, war, magic, sex and violence. The show chronicles the events and battles in the fictional lands of Westeros and Essos.
