The highly anticipated sixth season of Game of Thrones will premiere next month, however the trailer and several posters have finally been released. The last episode of the previous season left the viewers with numerous unresolved cliffhangers and loose ends, which led to the creation of many conspiracy theories and predictions.
The trailer is fairly long, one minute and forty-one seconds, but many of the scenes are very short and vague. Almost all of the main characters appear at least once, cut scenes to several brutal battles separate these individual appearances. A chilling and melancholic version of “Wicked Games” by James Vincent McMorrow accompanies the stunning visuals creating contrast between the violent scenes and the melodic soundtrack.
The video begins with the sun rising over Castle Black, Jon Snow is still in the same state and place where he was in season five, which means that he was left to bleed out over the night.
