The Walking Dead: The Final Season

Earlier today, Skybound Games hosted a Reddit AMA for The Walking Dead: The Final Season. CEO Ian Howe and creative director Kent Mudle gave an update on when we can expect the third episode, former developers at Telltale, and more.

Here are a few notable excerpts:

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:

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.

Earlier this week, Telltale began to pull The Walking Dead: The Final Season from digital storefronts. The same can now be said of Switch as well. Just like other platforms, The Walking Dead: The Final Season is no longer available to purchase on the eShop. Anyone who visits the listing will see the message: “Not Available for Purchase”.

Telltale has said in a statement that The Final Season is being temporarily removed as it looks into how it can hand off the remaining two episodes to another company. According to Telltale, “The outcome of those efforts will determine when and how The Final Season returns to stores.”

The Walking Dead: The Final Season is in a state of flux at the moment. The first episode arrived as planned on August 14, with the next episode scheduled for tomorrow. But due to the closure of Telltale Games, the rest of the season has been up in the air.

Telltale doesn’t want to make any promises, but the studio just said on Twitter that the company is “actively working towards a solution that will allow episodes 3 and 4 to be completed and released in some form.” This was after various “potential partners have stepped forward to express interest in helping to see The Final Season through to completion.”

The Walking Dead: The Final Season premiered on Switch last month. The next episode will arrive on September 25, Telltale Games announced today.

Here’s a trailer:

The Walking Dead: The Final Season will end with two more episodes after next week’s release.

Telltale Games has confirmed that a physical release will be offered for The Walking Dead: The Final Season. While we don’t have a release date just yet, Telltale says that other platforms will include the first two episodes with the ability to download the remaining two episodes. It’s unclear if the company is waiting to bundle all of the episodes together for the physical version on Switch.

The first episode of The Walking Dead: The Final Season is out now on the eShop. Other episodes will follow throughout the rest of the year.

During a panel at PAX West 2018, Telltale Games debuted a first look at The Walking Dead: The Final Season’s second episode. Check out a clip showing “Suffer the Children” below.

The Walking Dead: The Final Season debuted on Switch this month. However, previous entries in the series never made it to a Nintendo system. Telltale will begin to remedy that starting next week.

Switch owners will be able to purchase The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season on Switch starting August 28. It includes all five original episodes, as well as add-on anthology 400 Days. According to Telltale, “Both have been ported from last year’s The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series Collection, which offered substantial visual and performance enhancements over previous editions.” These have been brought over to The Complete First Season on Switch.

The Walking Dead: The Final Season debuted earlier this week. Done Running, the first episode, launched on Tuesday.

Telltale Games has shared the release schedule for the rest of the season. We’ll be getting more episodes every month or so, leading up to December.

Here’s the full schedule:
