Telltale has finally unveiled the first details of its forthcoming episodic adventure game series based on Game of Thrones.

We now know that it will consist of six episodes that begin towards the end of Season 3 of the HBO TV series, and finishes around the beginning of Season 5.

"You will visit familiar locations such as King's Landing and The Wall, as well as unfamiliar locations such as Ironrath, the home of House Forrester," Telltale writes on its blog.

If you've only watched the TV series you will not be familiar with the Forresters as they don't appear in it. Telltale takes from the canon here, as established by author George R. R. Martin's original books.

You'll be playing as five different people from House Forrester as they each play their part in saving the House from destruction.

"Playing as five characters not only reflects the epic scope of Game of Thrones, but is also something that the player needs to be mindful of," Telltale writes.

"This is because the actions of one character can ripple out to affect the rest of House Forrester. Multiply the actions of one character by five, and you're truly playing the Game of Thrones…where you win, or you die."

Telltale's Game of Thrones has been confirmed for iOS, as well as PC, and the PlayStation and Xbox consoles. The first episode entitled "Iron From Ice" will be available "soon".

More platforms are yet to be announced, so there's hope for Android, and maybe even Windows Phone yet. We've asked Telltale if they can confirm more mobile platforms for us.
