Xbox teases mysterious Game of Thrones project \u2013 Is Microsoft getting an exclusive GoT title? HBO\/MicrosoftMicrosoft have started to tease some sort of Xbox crossover with HBO\u2019s Games of Thrones, as cryptic videos and photos have started to appear on their social media accounts. The highly-anticipated final season of Game of Thrones kicked off on April 14, and while there are still a handful of episodes to go before the battle for the Iron Throne is done, the franchise\u2019s next move may already be in the works. While there hasn\u2019t been a video game counterpart to the hugely popular series since Telltale\u2019s release back in 2014, some fans think there could be something on the way \u2013 especially as Microsoft and Xbox have taken the lead with some marketing. What has Xbox teased? A cryptic video was displayed on the main Xbox Twitter account on May 5, accompanied by a vague message of: \u201cAnd now your wait begins.\u201d In the tease, flames are shown to engulf the screen in a similar pattern for a few moments, before subsiding and revealing only a small photo of the next cryptic image. However, it doesn\u2019t take all that long to figure out that it\u2019s the bottom part of the Targaryen sigil from Game of Thrones. It\u2019s not the only tease with the same message that Xbox posted to social media on May 5, though. Their official Facebook page displayed a similar hint, but swapped the Targaryen sigil for the Night King\u2019s chest plate symbol, of course, covered in ice and snow. Will it lead to a Game of Thrones Xbox game? Nobody is quite sure what Xbox is hinting at with these images just yet- but it\u2019s definitely Game of Thrones related and not the first instance of Microsoft linking up with the hugely popular series. Shortly after the start of the highly-anticipated Season 9 of HBO\u2019s Game of Thrones, any Xbox user who decided to pre-order the batch of new episodes was eligible to receive a number of free avatar items \u2013 including a mask of the Night King\u2019s face and a replica of the Iron Throne. That has led to some speculation that instead of a game being released, there may be a chance to win a Game of Thrones-themed console, or potentially just more Avatar items on the way. It remains to be seen just what Microsoft is hinting at with these teases because, as of right now, it really could be hinting at almost anything. The final series of Game of Throne is well underway, so regardless of whatever is set to come, we probably won\u2019t have to wait long \u2013 seeing as there is already so much hype surrounding the franchise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
