Telltale Games Shuts Down
2018 Episode 240 September 24, 2018
Telltale Games announced mass layoffs of its staff today, keeping on only a skeleton crew to finish out the studio's remaining obligations, effectively shutting down the studio.
UPDATE: This story is still developing, and now the case may be that the remaining staff is finishing Minecraft: Story Mode, not The Walking Dead, as we speculated in this update, and TWD may be canceled immediately after all. We'll provide a further update in Monday's roundup.
