This new story tells of House Forrester, a noble family from the north of Westeros, loyal to the Starks of Winterfell. Game of Thrones A Telltale Games Series, a six part episodic game series set in the world of HBO’s groundbreaking TV show. We hope the talented game devs who were laid off find work so they can bring the same powerful and artful storytelling to future projects as they did with Telltale games! Until then, let's look at the masterpieces they created, and those that we may never now see. The game also remains available on physical media. Politics aside, we're here to praise what the studio and its employees accomplished in their collective heyday. It looks like I won't be able to play this game. ![]() They told me to email Telltale support, which I did five days ago, and still haven't heard back from them. Thats why physical discs can be better because you can preserve games years later and they can become rare or expensive. We are doing this by counting down some of our favorite Telltale games while also mourning the loss of the projects that may never be completed after the layoffs, be it because the company may never finish them or because they plan to, but supporting these games would be supporting the company's mistreatment of its former employees. Talked to Microsoft support for a few hours and they told me Telltale has been removing some of their content and that there was nothing they could do. Damn, thats not great news for everyone that developed the game and for people that want to buy it because of renewed interest from the show. In light of this news, we wished to honor the great games, as well as the hard-working, though unfortunately poorly-treated and overworked talent behind them. Furthermore, the status of Telltale's future projects now seem to be up in the air, as only a small skeleton crew remains at the company. Additionally, this news meant that the studio that had brought new and interesting stories to some of our favorite franchises would no longer be around to tell its tales. As a whole, gaming audiences had been treated to a slew of creative futuristic shooters and when word got out that they would be getting yet another one, both. ![]() The news was devastating for a number of reasons, first and foremost among these is that many hard-working and talented employees lost their jobs without severance and with only a short time to gather their things and leave, causing backlash from fans and fellow game developers. After a series of upsetting layoffs, Telltale Games recently announced the closure of its studio.
