It’s obvious that Telltale Games loves playing in the sandboxes of other people. The publisher has partnered with more than a dozen different creators over the years, translating each of their unique properties into a Telltale-styled adventure game. But every company has that itch to tell their own stories and Telltale is no different.
We’ve learned this thanks to a changing of the guard in Telltale’s management structure. Kevin Bruner, one of the company’s co-founders is stepping into the role of CEO, which was recently vacated by Dan Connors, who will remain with Telltale as an Executive Advisor. Bruner’s first order of business was to tell the world that Telltale is currently developing multiple games based on “unannounced partnerships” as well as an original property, their first since 2011’s Puzzle Agent 2:
“Our top priority is to continue fostering an environment where the most talented and creative storytellers in the industry are working side by side with the world’s biggest creative partners. We’re already working on some of the biggest franchises in entertainment, and when you add our unannounced partnerships and upcoming original IP, it’s clear the most exciting time to be at Telltale is now, and there will continue to be more and more opportunity to innovate ahead of us.”
It’s unknown when Telltale will officially unveil these unannounced projects as they’ve already got a pretty full plate for 2015. In the near term, the developer has committed to completing Game of Thrones and Tales From the Borderlands, both of which began in late 2014. And they will also commence work on Minecraft: Story Mode and The Walking Dead Season 3, both of which are set to premiere sometime this year.
