Written by Josh Hamilton Telltale Games are working on two new games: a Walking Dead spinoff and the latest in the Dark Knight’s adventures.
Samira Wiley of Orange is the New Black fame will voice Michonne, possibly in a bid to separate the game series from her TV counterpart, who is played by Danai Gurira. Telltale also revealed that they have been working on a Batman game during The Game Awards, 2015. They released a teaser trailer to set the tone of the game, and its art style seems to resemble that of the classic The Animated Series (1992-95). Telltale’s blog said that “this iteration of Batman will give fans a first-hand opportunity to dive deeper into the complex life and mind of Bruce Wayne, the duality of its own identity, and the struggle of responsibility in saving a city overcome with corruption and villainy.” So like every Arkham game so far then?
The Last of Us was delayed from the 7th of May to the 14th of June, and while that was probably a good thing in hindsight, it shows how game companies can suffer when having to work on multiple projects at once.
I love me some The Walking Dead, but it’s about time the company produced their own content. Scrap the ‘based on _____’ projects and create a new, exciting world in which we can become invested and lost within. Take the concept of choices with an impact, it works. Keep the memorable characters that we actively care about. Create one major standalone title that wraps within one season, and you’ve got a successful new IP that sells to the thousands. I will play their new games because I love the developer and I love the franchises, but listen up, Telltale. It’s about time you broadened your horizons. The Walking Dead: Michonne premieres on PC, Mac, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, iOS and Android in February 2016. Telltale’s take on Batman also releases in 2016, but its platforms are yet to be confirmed.
