Focus Home Interactive and Cyanide announce “A Game Of Thrones: Genesis”
We announced in 2009 that Cyanide had signed an agreement with George R. R. Martin to develop both an RTS and RPG based on his best-selling “A Song of Ice and Fire” series. Today we can confirm that the RTS will be published by Focus Home Interactive.
Their press release is below:
“We are very pleased to announce that Focus Home Interactive will publish “A Game of Thrones: Genesis”, Cyanide’s new strategy game, adapted from George R.R. Martin’s famous series of best-sellers novels “A Song of Ice and Fire”.
Today, we reveal the first 2 artworks from this game in which you will have to match your political prowess with your strategic and military skills!
“A Game of Thrones: Genesis” plunges you into the heart of the battles and intrigues between the Families that shaped the Kingdom of Westeros.
However, victory does not necessarily result from brute force. The innovative game mechanics provide players with numerous paths to success: will you opt for a military, economic or diplomatic approach? Trickery, treachery and deceit are widespread and you will constantly have to watch your back if you want to avoid a bitter defeat!
Peacefully or forcefully annex surrounding territories, besiege enemy castles, send spies to infiltrate behind enemy lines, assassinate trouble-making officers or capture them to ask for a ransom… When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground!

George R. R. Martin has also posted the news on his blog and it is drawing plenty of feedback from fans.”
