As you might be aware by now, Episode 4 of Telltale Games' Game of Thrones series is available today for select platforms.
Episode 4: Sons of Winter can now be downloaded on PC/Mac, and should be available on PS4 and PS3 in North America following today's PlayStation Store update (usually later in the afternoon).
Sons of Winter, the fourth of six planned episodes for Game of Thrones, continues the story of House Forrester, as different members are caught up in the events of The War of the Five Kings. Up until now, things have been rought for House Forrester, but their fortunes may be changing soon if the launch trailer for Sons of Winter is any indication. Episode 4: Sons of Winter picks up from where Episode 3: The Sword in the Darkness left off — so yes, there will be spoilers if you continue.
"In Episode 4, the fate of the scattered Forresters hangs in the balance, and no one allied with the family is safe. An unexpected meeting offers Rodrik a new opportunity to free Ironrath from its Whitehill stranglehold, but with young Ryon Forrester still held prisoner, his next moves are critical. Gared must abandon Castle Black and venture beyond the Wall in search of the mysterious North Grove, risking encounters with Wildlings and worse. In King's Landing, the population is reeling from a recent royal death, and Mira must step carefully in an increasingly complex game of politics where secrets are traded as currency. Far away in Essos, Asher infiltrates the slave city of Meereen at the behest of Daenerys Targaryen, but will the friendship he holds dear break under the strain of a mission that raises memories best forgotten?"
While Sons of Winter is available for PC/Mac and PlayStation devices in North America today, Xbox owners will have to wait until tomorrow, May 27. The episode will be available on iOS and Android-based devices on Thursday, May 28.
