Winter comes on the first day of Summer this year.
HBO dropped the ominous trailer for Game of Thrones Season 7 earlier this morning and it whipped the Internet into a frenzy.
The new trailer is a follow-up to the first trailer released sometime in late May this year.
Featuring just about every character, loved and hated, the trailer shows the different families and factions gathering their forces and gearing up for war.
In the opening, we see Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) walking away from what seems to be Winterfell, with Littlefinger (Aidan Gillen) whispering words of caution: “Don’t fight in the North or the South. Fight every battle everywhere, always, in your mind”.
Next, we hear Jon Snow (Kit Harington) imploring an unknown person to form an allegiance to fight against a common enemy. He is also seen dressed in a Wildlings attire.
The video then shifts to scenes of battle, with the White Walker army, a flock of Ravens, and a legion of ships making their appearance.
The trailer eventually ends with Sansa echoing her father’s famous words, “When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives”.
Game of Thrones Season 7 premieres Friday, July 7.
