It’s the news many fans have been waiting for. Telltale have handed responsibility for The Walking Dead’s Final Season to Skybound Games. Skybound is run by The Walking Dead’s original creator, Robert Kirkman.
This may be the best course of action for the game series, especially with the original team returning to complete their vision. “Skybound will work with members of the original Telltale team to finish the story in a way the fans deserve,” an official statement said.
