Game of Thrones, the most-watched HBO® original series and best-selling TV on DVD title for the past five years, is now releasing in collectible Steelbook packaging. Following the release of Steelbook Seasons 1 and 2 this past fall, the collection continues, with seasons 3 and 4 releasing in a Collector's Edition Blu-ray™ set with the revolutionary new audio technology Dolby Atmos. GAME OF THRONES Steelbook Seasons 3 and 4 will be available on June 7, 2016 for the SRP of $79.98.

The Steelbook sets feature art designed by Elastic, the agency responsible for the series' Emmy® Award-winning opening credits. Each Steelbook showcases a specific location that is significant to that season and includes usable magnets on packaging featuring GAME OF THRONES sigils and symbols. Season 1 packaging featured Winterfell and Season 2 the Lannisters in King's Landing. Season 3 will feature the magnet sigil of House Frey and their ancestral seat of the Twins - the location of Season 3's infamous Red Wedding. The icy landscape of Castle Black and the Wall--where the brothers of the Night's Watch fend off an army of wildlings from the far north--will grace the packaging of season 4 including a crow and Jon Snow's sword, Longclaw as the featured magnet.

In addition to all of the bonus content from the previous Blu-ray™ sets, the GAME OF THRONES Steelbook is the first TV on Blu-ray™ title to be released with the revolutionary new audio technology Dolby Atmos, which delivers sounds and music to specific areas in the room, including overhead, creating a captivating experience that puts the audience right in the middle of the action on screen. To experience Dolby Atmos at home, Dolby Atmos-enabled AV receivers and additional speakers are required; however, Dolby Atmos soundtracks are fully backward compatible with traditional audio configurations and legacy home entertainment equipment.
