The Walking Dead by Telltale resumes with the members of the original team

The last chapter of the ongoing Telltale Games saga finally brings good news: the developer Skybound Games, which acquired the rights to the dissolved developer. The dead who walk The series says she brought "a lot of talented and passionate members of the team who originally worked on the game" to finish her last season. The release dates of the remaining content will be announced shortly.

The development of the last two episodes of the last season began today, writes Johnny O'Dell, head of social networking at The dead who walk comic series, in a blog post published today on Skybound's website. O'Dell also confirmed that the games in the series would return soon in online stores, after the recent bankruptcy of Telltale had resulted in their withdrawal from Steam. Telltale had initially stopped all sales of his last season in September, but you could still access previous seasons of the series until last week.

Last October, Skybound Games announced it had reached an agreement with Telltale to recover the rights of its narration. Walking Dead fallout from massive layoffs of the studio at the end of September. Skybound Games is both a traditional development studio and a publishing and licensing subsidiary of Skybound Media, founded by Walking Dead creator and writer Robert Kirkman. It is therefore logical that Kirkman's company comes to save the series and presents it as it should, with the help of game developers who previously worked for Telltale.

We do not know exactly how many people were brought back to work on the last two episodes; Telltale fired about 250 employees, some of whom did not work directly on The dead who walk and may not have been rehired. Nevertheless, it is a positive turning point in an otherwise unpleasant story about the premature death of a growing gaming studio.

Here is the full note:

Thank you for your patience as we worked with Telltale to take control of TELLTALE & # 39; S THE WALKING DEAD. It's a ton of work logistically and legally to bring us to a place where we are able to roll up our sleeves and get to work. After Telltale closed its doors, the game unfortunately could not be worked and the release dates of episodes 3 and 4 were therefore delayed. We are pleased to inform you that many of the talented and passionate members of the team who originally worked on the game are resuming their development efforts today!

Soon, we will announce the release dates of the two remaining episodes. It is likely that previous seasons of the game are no longer available for purchase for a few days at the time of transition (but do not panic!), We will have everything online again as soon as possible. If you have already purchased Season Four, you will NOT have to pay again; Future episodes will be available for download as soon as they are released through your original point of sale.
