After Telltale Games’ abrupt closure earlier this year, fans and employees were left with an incomplete final season to The Walking Dead. While the company has come under fire for the way the situation was handled, Skybound Games has come to the rescue.
The announcement came along with a video Q&A that featured star Melissa Hutchison, known for her role as Clementine in The Walking Dead. Telltale Games was known for its interactive style and released popular games such as Batman and Game of Thrones. When the company closed, the final season of The Walking Dead was in mid-development. Fans and employees alike were uncertain whether or not the story would ever be completed.
For fans uninterested in owning the game on PC, physical releases are planned for PS4, Xbox One, and Switch. The exact dates and details will be announced soon. Choices that were made in previous games that impact story will still carry over to the final two episodes via local or cloud saves. There will be no alteration of previous episodes of The Walking Dead.
This is good news for fans that have been heartbroken by the sudden move of Telltale. Skybound Games has garnered great praise from their dedication to bringing not only the fans what they want, but also help the employees close off this chapter of their work.
