Telltale Reportedly in Talks to Hand Off ‘The Walking Dead: The Final Season’ Production
Well, after waiting beyond what was expected, there may be some weird sort of light for Telltale’s The Walking Dead: The Final Season.
According to two anonymous sources in contact with Kotaku (yeah, I know), Telltale is set to pass the final two episodes of the season to a separate company, which would then offer contracts to former Telltale employees to complete the episodes. As far as payment goes, it would be that company’s name on the paychecks, and not Telltale getting additional funds and spending it on development.
According to the sources, episode three of the final season is essentially finished, and just needed a ratings review and polish. Episode four was also in production, with a first round of voice work for the main characters already recorded, and a first review of a playable version that was planned for sometime around the end of September.
Complicating matters is the fact that it’s unclear who would still be available to complete the episodes, since the former employees didn’t have the luxury of severance pay. In addition, if the deal does go through, it would be more likely that the company who wins the rights would use the absolute minimum number of staff required to complete the game.
And the saga goes on.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
