It has been 15 years since ‘Game of Thrones‘ officially debuted on television, and to mark the special day, the makers released a special trailer, celebrating the legacy of the fantasy franchise. Although the series first premiered on April 17, 2011, the makers on Wednesday, released a trailer celebrating the world of Westeros that went on to become a global phenomenon. The newly released trailer blends iconic moments from the original show with footage from spin-offs, including ‘House of the Dragon’ and ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’. “When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die” Cersei Lannister says in the opening lines of the trailer, as the video revisits some iconic moments in the show, including the Battle of the Bastards and the Red Wedding, before featuring glimpses of the new seasons.
