Latest Game of Thrones Teaser Shows Us What The End Could Look Like

It looks like things could get positively bleak as soon as it comes to the final season of Game of Thrones.


The latest teaser for Season 8 is titled "Aftermath," and yes it isn't action-packed, nor filled with scenes of Cersei looking shifty, Sansa pondering her fate, or Daenerys and Jon interacting before a harrowing reveal. Alternatively, it gives us a glimpse at what generally seems to be the result of a brutal battle at Winterfell.


The Stark flag waves because the camera pans to a snow-covered, deathly still castle with wreckage, Jon Snow's sword, and Jaime Lannister's golden hand strewn about the area. Near the end of the clip, as we get a good look at Jon's sword near the castle gate, we can visualize a glimpse of something – some categorize kind of figure. It's safe to mention that could very well be who caused all of this chaos.


It's unclear from here whether this clip portends a chilling end for specific characters, or if it's just an ominous bit of footage meant to spook fans. The only thing we do know is that there's going to be some group kind of epic conclusion, as evidenced in the full-length Season 8 trailer, where we visualize the starting of the fated battle between the Game of Thrones cast and the eerie White Walkers.


It's hard to tell how things will end, although we've got a bad feeling about some of the character's fates. Luckily, there isn't much longer to wait before we can watch this epic fantasy series gallop forth into a (hopefully satisfying) conclusion. We'll be getting six 90-minute installments alternatively opposed to the eight hour-long episodes of last season, for those keeping track. Former HBO head Richard Plepler called the final season a series of "six movies" alternatively opposed to episodes, so we'll have plenty of content to sift through.


Game of Thrones Season 8 kicks off on April 14.
