I'm pretty sure the war against the White Walkers (based on the HBO Viewer Guide, the "Great War") will be the final war and have the final battles in the series. The show (and the books, I suppose) is building up to the living vs. the dead. It's not going to be the penultimate conflict. That would be anticlimactic. It will surely be the main conflict in season 8. It may not kick into full gear until around the end of season 7, though. Surely we'll get more "glimpses" at it throughout this upcoming season as we have been in the previous seasons. I also don't think it will be the War at the Wall. I'm certain that the Wall will fall. Wouldn't it also be kind of anticlimactic for it to be limited up there? I'm pretty sure that the White Walkers and the wights/the army of the dead will span all across Westeros, perhaps even Essos and the rest of the known world. Now, will we get to see every location? Obviously not. It will mostly be limited to mentions. But I don't think we, the audience, will be restricted to the Wall for this very teased and highly anticipated Great War, the coming of the second Long Night between the living and the dead.
