After the unfortunate closure of Telltale Games, the fate of the remaining episodes of Telltale’s The Walking Dead: The Final Season was uncertain until Skybound Games picked the project up. As the developer draws close to next month’s release of the third episode, it has announced that all future purchases of Telltale’s The Walking Dead: The Final Season will be available exclusively through the Epic Games Store.
The studio has also clarified that those “who already bought the season on a different PC platform will still receive the final two episodes through their previous point of purchase” as soon as each of them launches.
President of Interactive Dan Murray and Skybound Games CEO Ian Howe said the following on the matter in a joint statement: “The team at Epic owns a major chapter in the history of the game industry. We’re excited to work together on their latest trans-formative event with the launch of the Epic Games Store. Epic stepped up to the plate immediately to work with us in order to bring the original team back together and ensure fans will receive the completed season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead: The Final Season.”
The Final Season’s third episode, titled Broken Toys, will be out on January 15, 2019.
It’s perhaps a bit of a surprise to see Skybound Games switch stores for all future purchases, but they definitely aren’t the only ones to choose the Epic Games Store over Steam.
