Talk about a fitting end.
It was rumoured earlier this week that Telltale was in talks with unknown developers to hand off production of the final two episodes of The Walking Dead: The Final Season. We didn’t know who would finally grab the episodes, but it’s been confirmed that Robert Kirkman’s own Skybound Games are now the ones to finish the series.
Though it may be difficult to do so, according to Variety, Skybound is in talks with the leaders of the original team that worked on the game so they can be the ones to finish the season. “We’ve successfully negotiated with Telltale Games for our company Skybound to come in and see Season 4 of the Telltale game to completion,” Kirkman told an audience at New York Comic-Con Saturday night. “We can’t lose Andrew Lincoln and Clementine in the same year.”
In an interesting bit that’s also come to light, both AMC and South Korean game company Smilegate were in discussions to invest in Telltale Games in a deal that would have essentially saved the company.
So, with this fantastic piece of news, there are still a few questions that remain. Namely, when do the first two episodes come back? And more importantly, what about those who ordered the Season Pass? Obviously, these will be fleshed out in the coming days once the deal is done.
