During the VGX awards this past weekend, Telltale Games revealed two brand new episodic game series. One announcement confirmed a rumor, while another is a bit of a surprise.

Telltale revealed it is in fact working on a Game of Thrones series in partnership with HBO. The game will take its inspiration from the television series, which is based on George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire book series. Players will be thrown into the action and politics of Westeros, having the power to make choices that will impact the narrative.

Telltale also announced that it will be collaborating with Gearbox Software to make Tales from Borderlands, a spin-off series set in the universe of the popular Borderlands franchise. Despite being part of a series known for shooting and looting, Telltale’s signature storytelling will be front and center. Taking place on Pandora, the game will feature a cast of familiar faces as well as brand new characters.

Both games will be coming in 2014. With these games, plus The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, it’s obvious next year is going to be big for both Telltale and its fans. You can watch the teaser trailers for both games after the jump.

The Wolf Among Us Episode 1: Faith was developed and published by Telltale Games. It was released on October 11, 2013 for $4.99. A copy was provided for review purposes.

As it turns out, “ever after” in all those storybooks you read as a child wasn’t so ever after, after all. At least, not the part where it was supposed to be “happily” ever after, that is. The tellers of tales over the ages actually did get the ever after part mostly right: the citizens of The Wolf Among Us’ Fabletown have lived so long that it might as well be rounded up to forever. And if the humans — or “mundys,” as the fables call them — they’re now sharing New York City with remember their tales from the old days well enough, the fables will keep on living forever, even if they’re struck by ostensibly fatal blows. Despite the best efforts of the local constable, however, there is precious little happiness to go around in Fabletown.

Unlike in The Walking Dead: Season One, The Wolf Among Us: Faith doesn’t quite give Telltale the narrative freedom to carve out its own characters from formless blocks of wood like Geppeto at his workshop. The Big Bad Wolf (here going by Sheriff “Bigby” Wolf), Snow White, the Woodsman, Tweedles Dee and Dum and the rest are already established characters. With the first episode of its latest serial, Telltale spends more time playing Puppeteer Geppetto than it does Creator Geppetto. It pulls on those strings with aplomb, keeping every character as devoid of bliss as he or she is meant to be in grim Fabletown – it’s just too bad that Telltale doesn’t let the player do enough of the same.

Telltale Games is no stranger to making games based on comic book properties, whose successes include their Sam & Max series to last year’s hit The Walking Dead. This summer they will release their take on Bill Willingham’s Fables universe in The Wolf Among Us. The first screenshots of the game have been released, staying true source material with cell-shaded graphics that give a strong comic vibe.

The Wolf Among Us will take place before the events of the Fables series. Players will control Bigby Wolf, the sheriff of a hidden community in New York City that is home to exiled fairy tale characters. He’s trying to leave behind his past as the Big Bad Wolf, tasked to protect his fellow mythical creatures and keep them a secret to the outside world. He’ll interact with many characters from the comics, including Snow White and a chain-smoking member of the Three Little Pigs. The Wolf Among Us is coming to XBLA this summer.
