Just when you thought that Telltale may actually take some time off to upgrade its engine and give its writing team some respite, it goes and announces another game. According to the developer, it's going to make Game of Thrones: Season 2 – in fact, it's already started work on it. The first season concluded this week, and our review will be live imminently.
"After this week's finale, I'm pleased to officially confirm that there will be a second season of Telltale's Game of Thrones series," co-founder Kevin Bruner said as part of a spoiler-laden story on The Hollywood Reporter. "It's currently in development." Of course it is, Telltale's turned into a factory rather than a game developer of late.
Many were unsatisfied with the conclusion to Game of Thrones: Season 1, but Bruner stresses that all of your outstanding questions will be answered in Season 2. "The questions left on the table at the conclusion of Season 1, who survived and who didn't as well as all of the other choices that you made, play a huge role in the second season," he said. Sigh.
So, just to recap, the developer's working on: The Walking Dead: Season 3, The Walking Dead: Michonne, Minecraft: Story Mode, Game of Thrones: Season 2, a Marvel spin-off, and a new intellectual property. We're sure that they'll all hit the same dizzyingly high standards as the studio's other recent releases.

Just stahp Telltale.
I really, REALLY!!! HATED the ending of telltale's GOT. And I normally praise even their worst episodes. It was such a letdown and normally they end with a closed ending but with sequel possibility. GOT ended with an open ending that felt like "you want to see how this ends? Buy season 2"
It felt like a stab in my back...
Sorry I really had to say this, episode 6 just made me so angry.
That said I'm a hypocrite that definitely will buy s2.
I hoped GOT would have been a self contained season and all the stories would be tied up one way or another. I liked the final episode, but it was so obviously hinting at a sequel that it kind of broke my immersion from the game. Saying that I still enjoyed the season.
I only played the 1st episode and I was really unimpressed by it. For thoise who have played it all, does it need a Season 2 really?
They need to push all of that to the side and make Borderlands season 2...
@Splat I'm sure they're already working on it. In addition to about 10 other unannounced projects. It's the Telltale way.
Literally if this happened to any other series I would've been happy
They really do need a new engine. And to make Tales season 2.
Hopefully they fix their game engine and release their episodes more frequently. The bugs are atrocious in every episode to the point that every time I play one, the whole game crashes or is simply a lag-fest and I fail even basic actions. It would also be nice to see an episode release more than once every 2 months. I often forget what happened the previous episode, or even forget about the series as a whole. Wasn't the original Walking Dead released like... every 2 weeks or something? Isn't the Minecraft one released pretty quickly as well? Then why the hell did they slow down so much with TWD S2, Wolf Among Us, Game of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands? Is it just a matter of taking on too many projects at once?
Telltale. Actually love you.
I played GOT on the PS3 and it was a bit of a nightmare sound issues, jerky and the battle scenes were so laggy I kept dieing. Its a shame because I have enjoyed it not finished the final episode yet.
I was hoping that there would be a new Wolf Among Us game but no news of that. I always like Telltale games but sometimes they need a bit more of a polish.
Lol didn't even know episode six was out, I'll maybe finish the final episode this weekend then. They need to update the engine and also improve the facial expressions. The shocked expression is abysmal.
I played episode one, I felt so bored, now I'm glad I skipped the series
