15 new photos from 'Game of Thrones' season 7 reveal a lot about what's going to happen

HBO just released the first official images from the hotly anticipated season seven of "Game of Thrones," and they look awesome. But also very, very dark.

It's all we have until "Game of Thrones" season seven premieres on July 16, or at least until we get a full-length trailer.
