Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series - Episode 4: 'Sons of Winter' Trailer

Telltale kicks off the second half of its Game of Thrones series next week with episode four, Sons of Winter, which just got a new trailer. Take note: here be spoilers!

It looks like Gared Tuttle got busted for his plan to strike off on his own and find the North Grove beyond the wall. Jon Snow is very disappointed in him, but Gared seems resolved to follow through and help his family, no matter the cost. Over in Essos, Asher’s run-in with Daenerys Targaryen at the end of episode three has turned into a job offer, as she has conscripted him to help infiltrate the slave city of Meereen so her men can arm the slaves and bring it down from the inside. Beshka seems to have some unpleasant associations with Meeren, though, so the mission might put a serious strain on her friendship with Asher.

Meanwhile King’s Landing is still reeling from the horrific poisoning of King Joffrey during his wedding. Mira wants to keep her head down and avoid attention, but nevertheless needs to still find a way to help her family. Back at home, Rodrik is still chafing under the oppressive rule of Griff Whitehill. An unexpected ally may provide a chance to change things, but can they do it without risking the life of young Ryon, who is still held hostage?

Sending Asher and Beshka with the party to infiltrate Meereen is the closest yet that Telltale’s series has come to directly involving its characters with events from the book. The Red and Purple Weddings were both featured, but only on the periphery. The show also differs from the book here, with Ser Jorah, Ser Barristan, and Strong Belwas leading the infiltration in the book while Jorah, Daario, and Grey Worm do so in the show (since Strong Belwas was tragically cut). Given the game’s use of actors from HBO’s adaptation, it seems likely that Telltale will stick with that version of the canon, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

Telltale’s Game of Thrones episode 4: Sons of Winter will arrive on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Mac on Tuesday, May 26. Xbox 360 and One owners will have to wait a day until May 27, and then iOS and Android on May 28.

State of Decay 3: release date speculation, trailer, news, and more

While the world's zombie obsession isn't as prevalent as it was a few years ago, we're still set to see some serious undead action in the future. Undead Labs has a third entry in its State of Decay series in the works that will surely pit an eclectic cast of survivors against hordes of wandering undead as they try to rebuild in a brutal world. Each entry of the series so far has included action-adventure, survival-horror, stealth, role-playing, and strategy elements, blending genres into an interesting civilization-rebuilding, zombie-decapitating experience.

We still don't have a lot of details on what State of Decay 3 will look like, but we've been stealthily searching the wasteland for any news we can find. It's definitely one of our most-anticipated upcoming Xbox Series X games. Here's everything we know about State of Decay 3 right now.

Project 007: release date speculation, trailer, and more

For gamers of a certain age, Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64 was a landmark moment in gaming. This spy-themed shooter was the culprit behind countless sleepless nights and arguments over screen-peeking with friends. Since then, James Bond games never really hit those same highs and even disappeared for over a decade. Now, a new developer has taken up the iconic franchise to make a new 007 game, and the pairing seems almost too good to be true. IO Interactive, fresh off the stellar Hitman trilogy, revealed that it is creating a new James Bond game currently referred to by the code name of Project 007. Details are so scarce that even Bond himself would have a hard time uncovering them, but we've compiled all the intel so far on this new title.
Release date speculation
The only thing we know about Project 007 is that it is currently in development, but not even a window was given for when it might be finished. Given the extended length of development games have now, we would predict a release of around 2026 or 2027, but we'd love to be proven wrong and have it end up coming sooner.
Platforms
No platforms are announced, and unless the game takes even longer than we predict, it is safe to guess that it will at least come to the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC like previous IO games. It is an independent studio, so there should be no exclusivity with this title.
Trailers
Project 007 - Teaser Trailer

The only trailer we have is the incredibly brief teaser from 2020. It simply shows a bullet being loaded into a gun's chamber as the iconic theme begins and we see the classic shot of looking down the barrel of a gun at the logo.

Dragon Age: Dreadwolf: release date speculation, trailers, gameplay, and more

A burning pyramid structure.

BioWare has had a rough few years. Following the critical and commercial success of Dragon Age: Inquisition, the studio moved on to Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, two games that abandoned the tenets of previous BioWare titles under mounting publisher pressure.

It's been over six years since Inquisition, and although we know Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is in development, it'll be a while before we see it. From the release date to the teaser trailer to any news and rumors we could find, here's everything we know about Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.
