Fans of role-playing games have a lot to be excited about, and it’s not just the hints Bethesda has been giving us about Fallout 5 and The Elder Scrolls 6. While we’ll have to wait for those games to come out, the variety of RPGs currently in development looks promising and fun.

As a huge fan of the Dunk and Egg stories, I was really relieved to hear some good news! Ira Parker, who’s working on the A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms series, told The National that George R.R. Martin hasn’t left them hanging. Apparently, Martin has actually mapped out the entire Dunk and Egg saga! Parker said Martin shared around 10-12 little outlines with the writing team, detailing the whole story of their lives. Right now, they’re focusing on just one of those, seeing how fans react. They’re actually making two at the moment, which is exciting! Hopefully, people enjoy them enough that we get to see all of Martin’s planned stories brought to life – I know I’d love that! I mean, I’m really enjoying writing in that world, and it’s such a great story, so fingers crossed we get many more!

The Persona series started as a spin-off of Shin Megami Tensei, but it’s become famous for its unique blend of high school life and turn-based battles featuring powerful beings called Personas.

While popular in Japan, the series gained wider recognition with the release of Persona 4 in 2008 and Persona 5 in 2016. In 2026, Persona will celebrate its 30th anniversary, joining other long-running franchises like Resident Evil, Crash Bandicoot, and Pokemon.

George R.R. Martin recently shared that he hasn’t forgotten about his Dunk and Egg stories and may still write more novellas, though he admits time is a factor.
