Skybound Games 'doing their best' to get The Walking Dead: The Final Season's devs back to finish up the series

Over the weekend we learned that Skybound Games was going to swoop in and save the day for The Walking Dead: The Final Season. They're going to wrap up episodes 3 and 4, and call it a day. When that announcement came out, Skybound said they wanted to work with former Telltale devs to make that happen. While that's still the company's intent, Skybound president Dan Murray now mentions that pulling that off might be a bit tough.

"We are doing our best to take care of the people. Our intent is to work with the original team but there are a lot of moving parts. I don't want to get into the specifics around the deal itself, but I will say this: We are doing everything we can to do right by the people making the game. There's not a huge upside for the corporate entity of Telltale Games.

This has nothing to do with Telltale Games and everything to do with the people involved with making 'The Walking Dead' game and trying to take care of them in the meantime the best way we can. That's the process we are in: Save the game for the fans and provide at least a runway to the team as we finish off the game. This has everything to do with the people who are making the game, and the fans."
