Telltale Game s has ensured its continuation for the next little while. The studio famously shut down in 2018, locking out employees and removing most of its Game s from sale. The studio returned in 2019, although it wasn't until a year later that its best-selling The Walking Dead series fully returned to digital storefronts. Now in 2023, Telltale has secured $8 million in funding that the studio says will go towards bringing three Game s to market, including The Expanse: A Telltale Series, The Wolf Among Us 2, and an un announced title.

"It’s both a pleasure and a natural fit to be affiliated with companies that share our commitment to narrative games and transmedia entertainment." THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Related: Revisiting...
