The Walking Dead

It's been a while since we've started suspecting there's some curse placed on The Walking Dead franchise, and the latest news did little to persuade us otherwise as Overkill's TWD only managed to make $3.7 million since the game launched.

It has been confirmed that The Walking Dead: The Final Season, whose development saw Skybound Entertainment take up the mantle from the now-defunct Telltale Games, will arrive as an Epic Game Store exclusive, unless you bought it elsewhere.

Overkill's shooter The Walking Dead hasn't had the greatest of starts, with many players pointing at the $60 entry fee as a bit too steep, which led to Starbreeze and Overkill rolling out the Starter Edition of the game that goes for $30.

Well, It seems that just as The Walking Dead: The Final Season interrupted its unlucky streak and found itself a new home, another game based on the same IP ran into trouble for selling better than expected in low-income countries.

Development of The Walking Dead: Final Season's last two episodes has officially started, as Skybound Games have confirmed. The new developer did not reveal the official release date but the last chapter should come out by the end of 2018.

The unfortunate tale of Telltale Games is coming to its unfortunate end at last as The Walking Dead maker, or what's left of it after the mass layoffs, is currently undergoing liquidation of assets and removing some games from Steam.

Skybound Games have announced they have acquired the rights to complete the work on The Walking Dead that Telltale Games were supposed to finish before the company imploded, laid off the vast majority of their staff and closed the doors.

Skybound Games CEO Ian Howe recently hosted an AMA on Reddit where one of the most popular questions was whether the released Telltale Games employees will finish their work on The Walking Dead. To everyone's relief, the answer was yes.

Telltale Games pretty much shut down when they laid off almost their entire work force last month, with just 25 employees remaining to tie up the loose ends. Now another team has been released, with the company going down even further.

Even though Telltale Games' management thought they had it all figured out when they flash-fired almost its entire workforce, some like Vernie Roberts Jr. sought legal counsel, filing a class action lawsuit against his former employer.
