Game of Thrones: Episode 2 release date set for February

New trailer teases upcoming adventure.

Game of Thrones: Episode 2: The Lost Lords is set to come out during the first week of February, Telltale has announced.

Let's break it down by platform:

3rd February it's coming to PC, Mac, and PS4/PS3 in North America.

4th February it hits Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PSN in Europe.

5th February it will launch on iOS.

Telltale's spin-off of George R.R. Martin's fantasy series focuses on the House Forrester, a family sworn to the Starks but placed in a less than desirable situation following certain events that transpired towards the end of the show's third season (hint hint, wink wink). Telltale described the basic plot of Episode 2 as follows: (includes mild spoilers for episode one.)

"House Forrester is in disarray. Their liege lord and his heir are dead, and Ironrath is occupied by Whitehill soldiers. The survival of the family depends upon those who are left. Placed at King's Landing, the epicenter of intrigue, Mira Forrester must weigh her loyalty to Margaery Tyrell against the needs of her family, while choosing how to play the political games of Tyrion Lannister. One misstep could spell doom for Mira and her entire family. To the far north, Gared Tuttle finds that the wall and its crows hold little love for a squire from the Wolfswood, but finds kinship in the bastard son of Ned Stark. Gared must prove worthy of becoming a ranger in order to carry out the mission given him; one that is vital to the future of those he serves. To the east, Asher Forrester, the exiled son, is called back to Westeros to aid his family, but how can one man help when the Boltons rule the north with an iron fist? Meanwhile, an unexpected source of hope returns to the Forresters, but Ironrath is no place for the weak."
