Investors announce plans to revive Telltale Games

Telltale Games, the defunct developer behind the likes of The Walking Dead, Tales from the Borderlands, and The Wolf Among Us, is set to make a return - albeit in a substantially different form - following the announcement that holding company LCG Entertainment has secured Telltale's name and some of its licenses.

As reported by Polygon, the new version of Telltale - overseen by Jamie Ottilie and Brian Waddle, founder and CEO of developer Galaxy Pest Control and ex-sales-and-marketing head for Havok respectively - will have the back-catalogue rights to The Wolf Among Us and Batman, alongside original Telltale properties including Puzzle Agent. As such, some games de-listed from digital storefronts earlier this year could potentially soon make a return.

Furthermore, while the new Telltale plans to "stay small over the next six months", it appears that a number of the 250-plus employees laid-off prior to the studio's closure last September have been bought into the fold. According to Polygon, some previous staff members have been offered freelance roles, "with full-time positions possible in the future."
