If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, I’m guessing this makes you warm inside and I’m happy for you.

Season eight’s teaser trailer was released late yesterday, and at the time of writing, had already amassed more than 2,5 million views on YouTube.

It had exceeded 3,2 million views on Twitter, too, so you know excitement levels are rising ahead of the airing in April.

Rather than try my hand at piecing together the puzzle, here’s what NewsAU had to say:

The short clip was tweeted out with the words “Fire and ice”, and hinted that the final season of the wildly popular HBO series will be all about a cataclysmic showdown between the forces of fire (Daenerys, her dragons, and the fiery blood of the Targaryens) and ice (those pesky White Walkers)…

We see the Stone Table, that great map of Westeros located in the castle at Dragonstone, begin to freeze from the north.

First we see the wolf, representing the forces of Winterfell frozen solid, and then a Targaryen dragon. Then the perspective shifts and we see flames engulf the south. Most notably, the lion of Lannister burns up, in an image that evokes the fiery “Loot Train Battle” last season. Eventually the ice and fire erupt in the middle of the table.

Yeah, just watch the thing for yourself:

Imagine how wild everyone is going to go when the actual trailer drops?
