Game of Thrones is about to get serious with episode 3 of Season 8 around the corner.

The hotly-anticipated Battle of Winterfell is finally here, and HBO has debuted six nw photos from the upcoming third episode of the show's final season, set to debut on Sunday, April 28.

The images don't spoil the outcome of the battle or even really show much of the carnage that's about to go down, but instead give us an eerie feeling of calmness before disaster is poised to strike. Who's going to live or die when the battle happens? We have no idea but we're ready and willing to see how things shake out.


Jaime Lannister and Brienne are seen about to head into battle, poised ferociously before the fight comes to them.

Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen are seen on a cliffside overlooking the battle, either before it begins or in the midst of it. Who knows what could be going through their minds at this time, especially after what they just learned?

Varys and Tyrion Lannister are pictured in the crypts, deep in conversation.

Jon Snow (or should we say Aegon Targaryen?) looks dazed here, which probably isn't a good sign.
