Telltale’s The Walking Dead Development Underway With Previous Team Members
Skybound has announced that it and previous team members of Telltale Games that were working on The Walking Dead: The Final Season are "resuming development efforts today!"
In a statement from Skybound, it promised that release dates for the final two episodes would be coming shortly and that those who already purchased the season pass will not need to pay again.
"Thank you for your patience while we worked with Telltale to take control of TELLTALE’S THE WALKING DEAD. It’s been a ton of work logistically and legally to get us to a place where we’re able to roll up our sleeves and get to the actual work. After Telltale shut its doors, the game was, unfortunately, unable to be worked on and hence the release dates of Episodes 3 and 4 have been delayed. But we’re excited to let you know that many of the talented, passionate team members who originally worked on the game are resuming development efforts today!"
