The Walking Dead: The Final Season

Many fans have been wondering about the status of The Walking Dead: The Final Season since Telltale went under and Skybound came in to pick up the remaining series. Today, we finally have an update.

Skybound said on its website that “many of the talented, passionate team members who originally worked on the game are resuming development efforts today”. Additionally, the release dates for the last two episodes are coming soon.

The release date for Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two on Switch appears to be final. After it was previously pulled months ago, the game has returned to the eShop with a November 6 release date. Other retailers have been listing the same day for the physical copy, so there shouldn’t be any further delays.

It was originally thought that Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two would be out on Switch back in August based on the original eShop listing. That didn’t happen though, and we were left wondering when it would eventually launch.

Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two still has its original listed price point of $39.99.

Usually when you think of Minecraft, you think of a game that can be played by anyone regardless of their age. Generally speaking, it’s a family-friendly experience. Yet for Minecraft: Story Mode, the original plan was something a bit different.

According to former Telltale narrative designer Emily Grace Buck, what was originally created “was not appropriate for young kids.” In fact, had the company moved forward with what it had, the ESRB would have given the project a T-rating. Buck didn’t elaborate beyond this as to what Telltale had originally created.

The Walking Dead: The Final Season

Skybound announced this past weekend that it is picking up the pieces left behind by Telltale’s closure to finish The Walking Dead: The Final Season. Two episodes have been released, though two more still need to be finished. That’s where Skybound comes in.

Speaking with Variety, president Dan Murray noted that the company hopes to work with the original team on the last episodes. He also spoke generally about the recent news surrounding Telltale and more, in which he stated:

Batman: The Enemy Within

Batman: The Enemy Within ended up arriving on Switch this week as scheduled from Telltale. Have a look at some footage below.

The Walking Dead: The Final Season

No one really saw it coming, but Telltale Games has essentially closed. Everything transpired out of the blue, which left The Walking Dead: The Final Season in flux. Two episodes are currently available, but two more were promised. Telltale later said it would try to pass of the final two episodes to an outside entity. Now there’s finally news on that front.

Skybound has announced that a deal has been reached with Telltale to continue developing The Walking Dead: The Final Season. The company says it intends to “wrap up Clem’s story right”.

We originally thought that Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two would be out on Switch back in August. That didn’t happen though, and we’ve been waiting for a new release date since.

Could November be the lucky month? Perhaps. Retailers like Amazon and GameStop have updated their listings, showing a new release date of November 6.

There’s plenty of uncertainty surrounding Telltale at the moment, so nothing is confirmed. If we hear anything else about Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two’s release date on Switch, we’ll pass the news along.

According to Kotaku Australia, Telltale Games is trying to see their Walking Dead game series to its end despite widespread layoffs two weeks ago. They hope to hire another company to assist them in doing that. Kotaku shares a lot more details in their article.
