Game of Thrones MMO picks up subtitle

Bigpoint has settled on a name for its free-to-play, browser-based MMO version of George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones.

A Game of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms will unfold near the beginning of Martin's fantasy series, with Westeros falling into chaos (think A Clash of Kings).

The developer is collaborating with Norwegian studio Artplant, who helped Bigpoint with Battlestar Galactica Online.

Right now we only know a few details — "players are challenged to form alliances through Player vs. Player (PvP), Siege combat and politics to control Westeros." We should learn more at San Diego Comic-Con, where the first gameplay trailer will be revealed.
