Telltale Games Lays Off More Workers

The staff at Telltale Games continues to dwindle: an employee there recently tweeted that the company just laid off more of its workforce, leaving a small skeleton crew behind to handle the developer's unfinished titles. This suggests that those unfinished game may, in fact, remain unfinished.

Telltale Games was founded in 2004 by former developers for LucasArts. The company's massive success with its adventure titles, including the highly popular recently laid off 225 of its employees, leaving only about 25 people left to complete the developer's unfinished games.

Now, though, that small team is even smaller. According to a tweet from narrative designer Rachel Noel, Telltale has laid off even more of its employees, leaving only a handful to complete the studio's work.

Noel later clarified that there were still people left at Telltale, but not many. She did reiterate, though, that her work at the company was done.

There is no word yet on how this will affect Telltale's unfinished projects. Its Stranger Things game is dead in the water, but what will happen with the final season of The Walking Dead? Players have already purchased full season es for a game that only has one episode currently available, and it now seems as if Telltale no longer has the staff to complete it. Even more upsetting is that the season is no longer available for purchase. There is no word what might happen to those who already purchased the , but it could prove even more troublesome if Telltale fails to deliver the full product.

After Telltale recently stated it wanted to work with outside developers to finish the series,Telltale is facing a class action lawsuit from its former employees for violating labor laws. Whatever happens, Telltale is in a difficult position, and it looks like the developer is going out with not so much as a bang, but a whimper. And that's a shame, considering all the wonderful games Telltale has given to the industry.
