HBO just released 8 new photos unveiling an epic battle on the next 'Game of Thrones'

The epic ninth episode of "Game of Thrones" season six is "Battle of the Bastards," and we cannot wait for the titular showdown between Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton. HBO has officially released new stills that show intense levels of action on the battlefield. If our predictions are correct, then this is set to be one of the bloodiest and most epic fight scenes the series has ever done.

Sansa Stark and Jon Snow are dressed in their House Stark best, looking regal and ready to reclaim Winterfell.



Jon will lead the loyal forces with his Valyrian steel sword, Longclaw, in hand.



Wun Wun the giant has already smashed one man onscreen this season. How many Boltons can he take down?



Ramsay has the odds on his side, with support from Houses Karstark and Umber.



But Jon's army has more heart — and more to lose. If they don't win this battle, then the old north will be no more.



The scale of production for "The Battle of the Bastards" is unrivaled. Look at all of those archers and men on horseback!



Tormund Giantsbane is one of the fiercest warriors on the show. We can't wait to see him take down soldier after soldier.



Last we have Ser Davos, looking determined yet worried. But that Stark banner in the background is hyping us up: The north remembers.
