The series has been one of the most talked-about shows of the decade. The utter devotion from fans put a lot of pressure on the show’s writer for the final season, which ultimately disappointed. In fact, fans were so upset with the way things wrapped up that a petition to remake season 8 reached one million signatures.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, George R.R. Martin, the man who wrote the novels on which the series is based, has revealed that he is not tempted to change his book ending based on fan reactions to the show. While previous seasons were based on his novels, the showrunners ran out of material for the final season, as the final book is still in progress.

“I want to write the book I’ve always intended to write,” Martin boldly declared.

“There is a temptation to change it — ‘Oh my god, it’s screwed up, I have to come up with something different.’” he said. “But that’s wrong. Because you’ve been planning for a certain ending and if you suddenly change direction just because somebody figured it out, or because they don’t like it, then it screws up the whole structure… I don’t read the fan sites. I want to write the book I’ve always intended to write all along. And when it comes out they can like it or they can not like it.”

There is still no release date in sight for the final book in the Game of Thrones series. Martin is in no rush to finish it now and has said: “There’s no longer a race. The show is over. I’m writing the book. It will be done when it’s done.”

The author of the GoT source novels sat down with Entertainment Tonight and dropped some major facts about the prequel, which is currently filming its pilot in Northern Ireland. 

We already know that the untitled project takes place roughly 5,000 years before the events in GoT and chronicles the world’s descent from the Golden Age of Heroes to the rise of the White Walkers and the near-destruction of man. 

Martin revealed which families are in, and which are out.

“The Starks will definitely be there,” he said. “Obviously the White Walkers are here — or as they’re called in my books, ‘The Others’ — and that will be an aspect of it. There are things like direwolves and mammoths.”

“The Lannisters aren’t there yet, but Castlery Rock is certainly there; it’s like the Rock of Gibraltar,” he said. “It’s actually occupied by the Casterlys — for whom it’s still named after in the time of Game of Thrones.”

As for the show’s title, Martin has some ideas but nothing’s decided yet. 

“I heard a suggestion that it could be called The Longest Night, which is a variant I wouldn’t mind,” he said. “That would be pretty good.”

No matter how hard we try, we cannot let go when it comes to Game of Thrones. Whether it’s rumors about prequels, sequels or any other project the cast or writers may or may not be working on — we’re ready to report.

Naturally, we were excited to learn that the writer of the novels, George R. R. Martin, has been working on a new video game.

Although the game has nothing to do with Game of Thrones, it is still a thing of dreams for fantasy lovers. The game is called Elden Ring and is being created by the Dark Souls studio FromSoftware.

Martin said of the project, “Building the world of Elden Ring with Miyazaki and his team was a treat. The graphics, mythos, and action-RPG gameplay will deliver an unforgettable experience. I can’t wait for people to see what Elden Ring has in store for them.”

The “epic fantasy” has been directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and is anticipated for a 2020 release. You can watch the game trailer here:
