The outcry of sorrow and support when Telltale shut down had no small part in bringing The Final Season back to life. Honestly, this entire thing never would have happened had the fanbase not been so passionate about the series.

We were driven by not letting them down, and by giving the fans something we’re truly proud of. A few of us have been here since season one! We wanted to celebrate the blood, sweat, and tears of the hundreds of developers that made these games. It’s a loving tribute to the series crafted by a team wholly ex-Telltale. Dead games don’t come back to life, and they don’t put the original team back to work, yet here we are today.īecause of this legacy, of how much The Walking Dead meant to so many, it was an honor to help Skybound Games put together The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series. Miracles like this are not common in the games industry. Luckily, the original creators of The Walking Dead comics, Skybound, stepped in and through sheer force of love brought the season back from the grave, finished by an all ex-Telltale staff with the creative vision that we had originally intended. In addition to the human cost of this tragedy, The Final Season was only half-done, and there was a very real chance Clementine’s journey would never see a conclusion. In the darkest moment of the series’ history, Telltale shut down without warning. More Walking Dead games were created, and fans followed Clementine as she fought and struggled and learned and grew across the years. Telltale became widely known as a bastion of quality storytelling, and breathed life into many different worlds and characters.

Telltale expanded in size, moved to a new bigger office on a hill, and started making way more games in the style of The Walking Dead. More Images from The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series
