Under the terms of the agreement, Cyanide has obtained the exclusive rights to develop \u2018A Song of Ice and\u00a0 Fire\u2019 video games for next-generation consoles and PC, and in collaboration with George R.R Martin, development has begun. \u00abWe are all huge fans of \u2018A Song of Ice and Fire\u2019, so it is a true honour for our teams to be entrusted with creating the first video games inspired by this masterpiece\u00bb stated Patrick Pligersdorffer, Managing Director of Cyanide. \u00abThe twists and turns of the plot will allow us to deliver an experience which can be enjoyed by both long-time fans as well as gamers new to the series.\u00bb<\/p>\n
