The lies among us
Telltale is going to be at San Diego Comic Con this weekend, but what they were bringing was a mystery until now. Ahead of the convention proper, the developer has announced sequels to three of its most popular series, including aWolf Among Us 2. The other new games will beBatman: The Enemy Within(what is this,X-COM?) andThe Walking Dead: The Final Season!
All of these games will be debuting on PC, Mac, PS4 and Xbox One with mobile ports to follow, though onlyBatmanwill be releasing this year with its debut coming on August 8. BothThe Walking DeadandThe Wolf Among Us 2will launch sometime in 2018. Each series will be five episodes long andBatmanwill be heading to retail with a “Season Pass” disc that contains the first episode and a download voucher for the remaining four. How fun…
As for specifics on each new season,The Walking Deadwill focus on Clementine yet again and the newBatmanseason will feature the Riddler and The Joker with an option to import saves from the first season (much likeThe Walking Dead).
While I’m not particularly shocked thatThe Wolf Among Usis getting a second season, I’m mostly baffled as to why Telltale gamestook to Redditto proclaim that the series wouldn’t be getting a follow-up anytime soon. I suppose next year isn’t really “soon,” but that is a pretty blatant false statement to make.
Either way, I’m quite surprised that we’re now getting a final season from the company. That, to me, shows real dedication to the stories they started instead of trying to drag them out. Hopefully it ends up better than season three, which wasn’t particularly great.
