Hajime Tabata, the director of both Final Fantasy XV and Final Fantasy Type-0, has revealed concept art for a sequel to the latter title in Hong Kong.

Telltale has released the first batch of screenshots for Game of Thrones: Episode 3 - The Sword in the Darkness.
The screenshots, which you can see below, confirm what we suspected after the teaser image released earlier in the week - Dragons will indeed be part of the episode.

The inclusion of Jon and Gared at the wall, along with a number of the Night's Watch kneeling before a Heart Tree lends credence to the theory we may be spending a lot of time at the wall in this episode, especially given the title.
