    Telltale has released a third teaser for its upcoming episodic Game of Thrones series, revealing even more information on the setting and characters we should expect to see in the title when it launches before the end of the year.

    If you've been trying to save yourself from seeing any spoilers, feel free to look at the image then surf away. If you're like us, however, and want to try and get a bit more out of it then read on below, but be aware spoilers for the books and/or TV show may follow.

    The quote in this most recent tease comes from A Storm of Swords, the third book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. The words in question are spoken by an unnamed member of clan Liddle, who live in the hills north of Winterfell. The reference he makes to “squids” refers to Greyjoy’s forces as they come to invade the North. It was Asha of House Greyjoy who spoke the quote in the game’s first tease, which referenced Stannis’ war in the north.

    This third quote also references that war in two ways. First, it mentions the “flayed men” of House Bolton, who sparked turmoil in the North. Second, the Liddles eventually join with Stannis in his war to win the North.

    We were a bit confused about the time period suggested by the quote in the second teaser image, but this mention of the squids and flayed men and trouble in the Wolfswood reinforces our earlier guess from the initial image that the new game will take place in the North and will likely focus on Stannis’s intervention against the Boltons and Greyjoys there.

    Telltale could still absolutely surprise us, but the content of these clues seems to point very convincingly to a new story set in a familiar setting.
