Telltale Games Actively Working to Finish The Walking Dead's Final Season
When news broke late last week on Telltale Games entering majority closure, many feared that the final season of The Walking Dead game series would be cancelled without a resolution to Clementine's story. News then came out as to how the now-former employees of the studio were not being given severance pay and had to go about without compensation for a lot of their time on this game, and others. In retrospect, there were definitely larger issues to tackle first as many of their peers in the industry pointed out- especially when those former employees have filed a class action lawsuit in a federal court citing violation of labor laws.
It was interesting then that Telltale announced on Twitter that they were actively working to wrap up the pending two episodes for the season, with episode 2 having being released a few hours prior to when this post goes up. There are apparently multiple outside partners willing to help out, and they hope to get episodes 3 and 4 out "in some form". There are no promises or guarantees made, but between long-term fans wanting them to make the game season complete and others admonishing them for prioritizing this over pending payment of employees, Telltale Games is caught between a rock and a hard place. Whatever happens in the future, well, let's just say that we will all remember that.

They are licensing or selling their IP to buy them some time to finish the game off but they arent even thinking about paying all those people they let go and put in such dire financial situations.
