Earlier this week, Skybound Games announced it would be hosting a Reddit AMA focused on The Walking Dead: The Final Season. Now that it’s wrapped up, here’s what we found out.
According to the company’s CEO Ian Howe, production of episode three and four is at a standstill. New release dates for the episodes will be announced as soon as possible – with Howe reiterating how there is no reason to hold back this information from fans. The most he was able to say in response to a question about the release, was that episode three would arrive between now and the end of the year:
OK, given that you guys have been so supportive and patient, I’m going out on a limb and will say yes, I fully expect Episode 3 to be this year and I’ll be very disappointed if we can’t make that happen.
While Howe confirmed episode three was on the way, episode four still needs work as production only recently started, as previously reported. Fortunately, the former Telltale staff members in talks with Skybound are eager to return and complete the season. The team members not returning have apparently been offered roles elsewhere. It’s just a matter of getting the legalities out of the way now so production on episode three and four can start up again.
Are interested in playing episode three and four of the final season? Are you glad to hear former Telltale staff completing The Final Season is the likely scenario at this stage? Tell us in the comments.

Honestly I still think it's great someone actually is helping them out and not just giving up on a season halfway through it.
OMG I'm tired of articles about this game.
@MotaroRIP You don't have to read every article that get's posted. Looking at the headline should be enough to know if it's interesting to you or not.
just axe this game!
Thought this series was DEAD anyway?
I could care less for these interactive movies over actual games.
@DonSerrot
Of course I don’t but every day it seems there is some repetitive headline about this game and it gets old. I’m entitled to complain darn it!
@ClassSonicSatAm
Well good for you, I can enjoy both.
@MotaroRIP Most is the reason this game has been in the news so much is because people’s JOBS AND LIVILIHOODS were at risk.
But hey, how dare you have to either read about it or skip a headline about it, right? That would be unforgivable.
@ClassSonicSatAm Wow if you think this is reaching movie territory, you better stay the hell away from Metal Gear Solid
@BlueBlur101 Thing is I actually like Metal Gear, played all of them infact (didn't like the 5th so much, too GTA, couldn't connect with the plot) Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 are the sole reason why I got and still play my PS Vita.
why do I like MGS? because it has GAME PLAY you don't click a choice for Snake (or have very limited control) and watch it play out, you actually do most of the action YOURSELF
so again I could care less for these Telltale games. ( If I watched it on Youtube I wouldn't be missing out any gameplay.)
@ClassSonicSatAm I always thought MGS2 was Kojjma channeling his passion for filmmaking. He wanted to be a director before pursuing game design, and MGS2 and especially Guns of the Patriots are perfect examples of his passion for film
@BlueBlur101 The thing is. there's nothing wrong making a game look like a movie (with a very good story/graphics) But make sure there's actual gameplay still.
If you took away the story from the MGS games you would still have SOLID gameplay
if you took away the story from a telltale game then... you have nothing since the whole game relies on the story and just choosing what story path you want.
much like one of them Adventure story books, like I said I could play lets say the whole of batman telltale and the only thing i would miss is the quick events, I can still change the story (the only that matters with these games)
Heck even Ashesn made something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWYY4BCAyzQ
