Game of Thrones may be over, but George R.R. Martin is nowhere near finished as a creator. He's still got plenty of projects up his sleeve, including the books he was supposed to have finished in 2015.
But beyond that, he's also apparently working on a video game. According to Martin himself, who took to his official blog to write up a quick update on how he felt about the ending of the Game of Thrones TV adaptation, he's got several things in the works.
"I'm involved with a number of feature projects, some based upon my own stories and books, some on material created by others," he wrote. "There are these short films I am hoping to make, adaptations of classic stories by one of the most brilliant, quirky, and original writers our genre has ever produced. I've consulted on a video game out of Japan," he wrote, which could potentially be the FromSoftware title known as "GR" to internal workers that's been in development for three years.
According to Gematsu, the writer's work could be on the project that FromSoftware has been working on that features an open world with horseback riding, a collaboration between Hidetaka Miyazaki and Martin himself and published by Bandai Namco. Rumor has it that the game could be announced at Microsoft's E3 2019 press conference in just a couple of weeks.
Of course, this is all just a rumor for now, but given that Martin himself has confirmed he is working on a video game, it could very well come true. We're all ready and willing to see what else the writer has up his sleeve, though, especially since Game of Thrones is over. We're ready and willing to see what this pairing could bring us. All we need is just the go-ahead to believe that it's real...and we know Martin's working on something. Hopefully it doesn't take him as long to help bring the game out as it does for him to write a book, though.
