We’re officially some 45 days away from the beginning of the end. Game of Thrones Season 8 looks so close, yet so far. The show, that plays with out emotions, is a total tease (and i wouldn’t have it any other way). Fans have gotten a few teasers and leaked photos and the Reunion That Was Promised. But what we don’t have is one proper, full blown trailer, like any other sane show would.
And the masochistic fans that we are, we love this! Teasing us a little further, the show released official character posters for Game of Thrones Season 8. And all of our favourite (alive) characters can be seen posing #ForTheThrone!
Are you even a truly obsessed GoT fan if you didn’t try to dissect every character’s stance, their outfit, and their expression? No, Ser! In another excellent marketing masterstroke, the show now has individual emojis for these characters!

The show and HBO’s official Twitter handles have been urging fans to tweet using the hashtags and have their tweet featured in prominent locations.
Mind the gap, London.

Can’t say right now who’ll be sitting on the Iron Throne, but I HBO and Game of Thrones are definitely capturing the marketing throne!
