George R. R. Martin is writing for a video game

  • 130

This bit of news comes from the latest post on the author's personal blog in which he confirms that he helped write on a Japanese video game. In the post he talks about the ending of HBO's Game of Thrones series, how his book will differ from the show, his future plans as a producer (GRRM is currently working on 5 new shows on HBO, 2 on Hulu and 1 on History Channel) but he has also finally confirmed that he has done some work on an upcoming game:

I’ve consulted on a video game out of Japan

While he doesn't say anything else about the video game or who is involved in its development, we know it will be a Japanese game. There were some rumors that FromSoft's next game will have GRRM as a writer, rumors discussed in a video from YouTuber Spawn Wave.

He should finish ASOIAF first...

I am pretty sure he intends to finish the books at some point, but for now it seems he does anything but write for the books :))

I doubt he will. He's in his 70's and is starting new projects despite being years behind his own deadline with WoW.
He will just leave thousands of pages of unfinished manuscripts like his idol, Tolkien.

Well you are right, the odds aren't really in his favor :)) And GRRM unlike JRRT doesn't have any kids to help finish his work.. Still I hope he has enough time on this earth fo finish the series :))
