Some pretty cool news for fans of Game of Thrones – Bigpoint has announced the official title of its upcoming free-to-play MMORPG – Game of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms.

The exclusive game trailer will be premiered at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con later this month, and interested residents of Westeros can also sign-up for the closed beta at www.GameofThronesMMO.com

In context of the lore, the Seven Kingdoms were originally independent countries which rose up over thousands of years until the Targaryens ruled over them as one nation of Westeros. 

Game of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms takes place after the deaths of King Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark. The Starks of the north declare war on the south as Baratheon’s two brothers both make claims to the throne. Gamers will be able to form alliances through PvP, Siege combat and politics to control Westeros.

Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms beta testing is slated to begin later this year and now that I’m done writing thing article, I’ll be on my way over to sign up.

THE KING IN THE NORTH!!!
