Game of Thrones season 7 releases a poster of ice and fire in preparation for the show's return

Game of Thrones season 7 has its first official poster and it’s full of fire, ice and, uhh, that’s about it. It looks cool though (Cool. Get it?). While the poster doesn’t hint at much, it’s at least promising to see it; it means Game of Thrones is just over the horizon.

Fire and ice have been synonymous with the Thrones series since George R.R Martin first (slowly) put pen to paper. It’s also not a stretch to suggest the characters of Danerys (she of fire-breathing dragon fame) and Jon Snow (who has spent far too long in the shivering climes North of the Wall) will meet up at some point, hence the mixing of fire and ice.

Other than that? Who knows. There’s still no clear-cut release date, with rumours ranging from June 25 to who-knows-when. It’s still a great opportunity to make terrible (f)lame puns. Icy what you did there etc etc.

Game of Thrones season 7 will debut sometime this summer on HBO in the US and Sky Atlantic in the UK

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at 12DOVE, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
