Clementine’s story might be saved after all.
Telltale Games published another statement on Twitter, which reads: „Hi everyone, we have a Walking Dead update for you. Multiple potential partners have stepped forward to express interest in helping see The Final Season through to completion. While we can’t make any promises today, we are actively working towards a solution that will allow episodes 3 and 4 to be completed and released in some form. In the meantime, episode 2 will release across all platforms as planned. We hope to have answers for your other questions soon.” Indeed – the second episode has launched today, and it will be analysed shortly. If we had to guess, Ubisoft might be the company that saves the day.
Cory Barlog, God of War’s director, has also responded on Twitter: „I would hope this means that you will first pay your entire team their severance, and then proceed to finish the final episodes. I would be fine waiting however long it took to ensure we first treated those who worked so hard with the humanity and respect they deserve.” And we can’t argue with this comment – those who were fired should be treated fairly at least to the point that they don’t get into financial trouble due to Telltale suddenly closing its doors.
Emily Buck, who even worked on The Walking Dead: The Final Season, has also reacted on Twitter. „Due to the insanely high cost of living in the [San Francisco] Bay Area relative to payscale, many of my (unbelievably skilled and talented) colleagues were living paycheck to paycheck and do not know what they are going to do to make ends meet this month. There are people who started at Telltale as recently as a week ago. Some of those people have children. At least one of them relocated cross country. A lot of the Telltale devs have families & children. And now they don’t have a paycheck. Not even a severance paycheck,” she wrote.
