Are these screens an early look at Telltale’s upcoming Game of Thrones series?

Add as a preferred source on Google

Still images from Telltale’s upcoming Game of Thrones episodic series appear to have leaked, with a few very familiar faces from HBO’s own adaptation (on which the Telltale’s series is based) seemingly confirming their tie to the interactive interpretation. Kotaku shared the images, citing this Xbox Live Arcade-focused Twitter account as the original source.

Although Telltale has not confirmed the legitimacy of the images, the art style is consistent with previous Telltale series’ like The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead. If they are accurate, then fans can already see how some of the game’s story might tie into what we knew from HBO’s television adaptation.

The stills include series mainstays like Tyrion and Cersei Lannister, Margaery Tyrell and the sociopathic Ramsay Bolton. We also have what could be our first look at some of the Forresters, the family at the game’s center. It is not yet known if the more established characters feature prominently into Telltale’s work, or if they appear more as cameos. It should also be mentioned yet again that the original source of these images cannot be confirmed, and this may well be a hoax.

The first of six episodes for Telltale’s Game of Thrones series, Iron From Ice,  debuts in December on iOS, PlayStation, Windows, and Xbox platforms.

Sony gave fans their first look at God of War Laufey during June's PlayStation State of Play, but the company did not share a release date at the time. Speculation about the launch window followed almost immediately, with industry insider NateTheHate pointing to a release in the first half of 2027. Santa Monica Studio has finally ended the guessing game, confirming that the title will launch on February 16, 2027.

Lenovo’s $99 280Hz gaming monitor is built for the ramen-budget crowd
Lenovo is selling a 280Hz monitor for less than GTA 6 Ultimate Edition
Lenovo gaming monitor render

Fresh off launching a metallic Hall-effect keyboard and a 59g gaming mouse for flashy esports setups, Lenovo has turned its attention to gamers working with much tighter budgets. The Legion 24-1r looks made for broke college students who spent way too much on their first gaming rig and now have instant noodles doing most of the heavy lifting at dinner. It costs just 669 yuan, equivalent to around $99, yet offers a 23.8-inch IPS panel running at up to 280Hz.

Lenovo is also offering the 27-inch Legion 27-1r with the same core specifications for 789 yuan, or roughly $116. For the ramen-budget crowd chasing competitive frame rates, both look like seriously tempting deals. (via NotebookCheck)

I played Halo: Campaign Evolved, and its cinematics show what a Halo series could’ve been
Halo’s remake looks ready for Hollywood. So where is the show it deserves?
Adult, Male, Man

There is a moment early in Halo: Campaign Evolved where I stopped thinking about the remake as a game for a second. I was watching one of its newly rebuilt cutscenes. Master Chief, Captain Keyes, Cortana, the Pillar of Autumn, and the enormous scale of everything around them suddenly appeared a lot more cinematic than ever before.

I played the original Halo: Combat Evolved in the early 2000s, and in my head, this was exactly how it looked and felt. The first Halo title introduced intergalactic war to me long before Star Wars, and the cinematic tastefully adds enough minor touches that enhance Bungie's original work from decades ago.
