The entertainment industry is no stranger to the odd prequel. However, a couple of today’s popular franchises are about to get prequels that predate the fantasy worlds we know and love by thousands of years. The Game of Thrones prequel that is currently being worked on is one example. It might be set in Westeros, but the show will be a far cry from the one we have become acquainted with over the past decade.

As reported by The Verge, the MMO will also be set thousands of years before the original movies. However, the game will not be associated with the TV series in any way. It has been confirmed that the two are being run by different teams and are completely unrelated. Odd that two projects as similar as these, being developed by the same company, would have no connection whatsoever, but okay…
