Telltale Doing Walking Dead, New Puzzle Agent, New King's Quest

Because there's always room for more zombies, gnomes, and King Graham!

The tease seemed a little too obvious, but the speculation was accurate. Telltale Games is indeed working on a game series based on The Walking Dead. The developer has inked a contract with Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman to produce multiple games across several platforms. The first game slated to hit in late 2011.

In an interview that followed the announcement, Kirkman didn’t divulge much about the games or the platforms. But he did note that the series would be episodic, as is expected with a developer like Telltale, and said that the games are to be based in the comic book universe as opposed the one seen on the AMC television series.  
 

 
In other Telltale in-development news, The Wall Street Journal’s All Things Digital blog is reporting that the developer is also creating a series based on Fables, which is a comic book series about fairy tale characters that live in real-world New York City.
 
Telltale's announcements certainly don't stop there. The company has revealed that it's returning to the mysterious small-town plight of Nelson Tethers with a new Puzzle Agent sequel. Even more surprisingly, the company has inked a deal with Activision to resurrect some of Sierra On-Line's classic adventure franchises, starting with a King's Quest reboot. 

 
What Evil Lurks in Puzzle Agent 2?

The case continues for Nelson Tethers in Telltale's newly announced puzzlin' sequel.

  
 
And, lastly, the Jurassic Park series' Web site is now up. You can pre-order the upcoming five-episode series on PC and Mac for $29.99, which is about five dollars off from the normal, slow-poke price. The first game will see a release in April, so the wait won’t be too long. In the meantime, Telltale just gave us an inside look at Jurassic Park; watch it!

Christ these guys keep busy. Good for them.

Damned Gnomes! 
 
Really wonder how they are going to make a Fables game.

Telltale are on fire. 
They've successfully revived some of my favourite franchises of all time, really can't wait for King's Quest. 
 
Puzzle Agent didn't do much for me though, there's just a complete over saturation of puzzle games at the moment.  Worse than even FPS'.

will be interested in the Walking Dead stuff, and I want to try the Puzzle Agent out as well.
Cybexxon Feb. 18, 2011 at 2:46 p.m.
Wow Telltale is an explosion of development at the moment! Glad we are getting a new Puzzle Agent and a new King's Quest is a very unexpected development considering the indie work on The Silver Lining, I wonder if those two projects will sync up in any way?
l3illyl3obon Feb. 18, 2011 at 2:47 p.m.
Telltale is making like 50 games right now.
boylieon Feb. 18, 2011 at 2:48 p.m.
That is a quantity of things they are doing
Underachiever007on Feb. 18, 2011 at 2:50 p.m.
Glad to see Telltale getting all these great projects.

Can't wait for the new King's Quest.
 
Alexander feels a strange pulling sensation.

MAKE MOAR GAMES

New King's Quest?! Awesome! Too bad Leisure Suit Larry has become completely ruined.
 
edit: Brad2, you linked the wrong Sierra in the article. This is the one you should have linked: http://www.giantbomb.com/sierra-entertainment-inc/65-1030/

They are also doing something using FABLES. 
 
I don't know how they are going to make that comic into a game but my guess is... adventure game.
MasterVaderon Feb. 18, 2011 at 2:54 p.m.
Wow these guys know how to keep busy.
ArbitraryWateron Feb. 18, 2011 at 2:58 p.m.
Well, if anyone could do a King's Quest reboot...

This.  And it's Telltale, so yeah, adventure game.  Haven't been disappointed by them yet, so a Fables game by them should be amazing.

walking dead game from tell tale?? good news!  weird to see king's quest coming back around too.

Puzzle Agent caught me by suprise, I goddamn loved the first game so I'm already way stoke-ified on that.
