GOG announce a final name for Telltale Games leaving on May 27th

The choking grip of licensing.

The unhappy saga of Telltale’s fall is due one final tragic chapter. GOG have simply introduced that the entire defunct choose-your-own-adventure studio’s games shall be de-listed subsequent Monday, May 27th at 11am BST. That consists of Telltale’s personal games like Puzzle Agent, and all three seasons of Sam & Max adventures, in addition to licensed games like The Wolf Among Us, Guardians Of The Galaxy, Batman, and the superb Tales From The Borderlands. The final of which has already been faraway from Steam, although writer 2K Games are working to convey it (and it alone) again, as reported by Eurogamer.

One of the games going through the axe isn’t even Telltale’s personal. They merely revealed Hector: Badge Of Carnage, which was developed by Irish studio Straandlooper. Some of Telltale’s older games are already gone, together with their Wallace & Gromit, Back To The Future, Game Of Thrones, Jurassic Park, Tales Of Monkey Island, Minecraft: Story Mode and Bone: Out From Boneville games. Looking on the full record of games, it’s actually fairly gorgeous how prolific a studio they turned, particularly contemplating how their debut sequence – Bone – by no means obtained previous its second episode, leaving many to declare episodic games lifeless on arrival.

The full record of games as a result of be de-listed from GOG, with hyperlinks to our previous protection and shops (when you purchase them now, they’ll keep in your account), is as follows:

Puzzle Agent (Steam/GOG)

Puzzle Agent 2 (Steam/GOG)

Batman – The Telltale Series (Steam/GOG)

Batman: The Enemy Within – The Telltale Series (Steam/GOG)

The Wolf Among Us (Steam/GOG)

Tales From The Borderlands (Steam/GOG)

Hector: Badge Of Carnage (Steam/GOG)

Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People (Steam/GOG)

Sam & Max Save The World (Steam/GOG)

Sam & Max Beyond Time And Space (Steam/GOG)

Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse (Steam/GOG)

Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy: The Telltale Series (Steam/GOG)

Telltale’s The Walking Dead series has fortunately escaped this merciless destiny, and is currently on sale on the Epic Games Store. You can get all 5 seasons collectively for round £20. Those games are a uncommon exception, as they have been snapped again up by Walking Dead rights-holders Skybound, together with the Telltale employees required to complete the ultimate season. The undeniable fact that the collapse of 1 studio is placing the fates of over two dozen games (many, many extra when you rely particular person episodes) in danger highlights that our present system is perhaps a tad damaged.

While GOG have introduced a May 27th deadline, there’s no phrase on when these games may disappear from Steam, too. If you wish to protect your journey game assortment, you may wish to snap them up and make backups sooner somewhat than later. Hopefully the following time this occurs, there’ll be some type of preservation or backup plan in place. Sadly, I really feel that this story is doomed to be repeated a number of extra occasions earlier than the business learns from its errors.
