Following Telltale's announcement of mass layoffs, The Walking Dead: The Final Season was pulled from multiple digital stores. Despite only being part-way through the season, Telltale asked the online stores to prevent customers from purchasing the full season pass. This applied to every platform except the Nintendo Switch at the time.
This has since changed, with a new message on the game's eShop page revealing the season finale - season pass is no longer available. For now, it's supposedly a temporary removal, while Telltale works out the game's future.
Earlier last week, Telltale said it aimed to see The Final Season through to completion - with multiple partners allegedly stepping forward to offer assistance. While there's still no guarantee anything will come of this, it sounds more promising than it originally did.
Did you buy a season pass for The Final Season? Do you think Telltale will be able to complete the season? Tell us below.

So... What about those who bought it? Do they get a refund?
I bought it when they pulled it from other stores. There’s no guarantee they’ll ever re-release it.
This is so sad. But I am glad I didn't already pay for it. I wanted to buy the whole series on the Switch, I loved replaying the first season on the console. I was pumped for the rest, then this news dropped. Really, really disappointing...
@Yosheel no since the season pass is for access to all the season that is released and if only half of them are released and is stopped then that's the whole season you payed for.
@edgedino that sounds... Bad.
Meh, never cared about TWD
If Telltale isn’t going to finish TWD:TFS they should give a 50 percent discount on TWD S1 for those who bought the season pass. I feel like that’d be fair.
@Yosheel yes but its the way it works after all, of course that's not how it always ends up, this just happens to be one of those rare occurrences, and is the risk that is taken.
@Yosheel It depends on whether or not they get to finish it with the help of those other devs.
I pre-ordered it on Xbox when they offered the Full Collection with Season One, Season Two, Season Three, 400 Days and Michonne.
I was happy to have the whole game under one roof for only $20? after playing 1,2,and 400 days on Xbox 360 before they added them to the BC so I had 2 copies of some of the seasons but didn't want to start over as well.
What a cluster... so glad I stopped with all things Telltale many years ago.
So sad. How could Telltale end so badly. They had so much good and maybe got too greedy with all these other IPs...
@bert0503 That was pretty much it. They hit lighting in a bottle with season one of TWD and figured they could do it again. As a result they basically bit off more then they could chew.
If sorry for Telltale
This is why I believe games should be finished before being released, doing it episodically was an just alternative way of doing a little to get something out however I’ll say it’s better than releasing a game then constantly getting updated to patch bugs

For the workers, yes. For gamers too. For the studio heads, no. They mismanaged their company to hell. Working there was a nightmare according to several ex-employees.
They said "last week" that they'd have a statement ready "the end of the week" about what is going to happen now, but the week went by, and we didn't get any news. Might be imminent though for all we know.
They did say they wanted the season pass "temporarily" taken down from the different digital platforms it was available on, while they discuss with potential partners solutions to see the development being completed at last. If they do manage to resume development on episodes 3 and 4, then the season pass will go back live, no doubt.
I never played TWD but from my experience with telltale they were always poor about delivering on time with their season passes. I think part of the problem of that company is they tried to have like 3 projects going all at the same time with deadlines
Walking dead is the season of the English serials in which the story of the horror issues are under the discussion. The topic here is for the not availability of the walking dead serial in thecvstore.net for the purchase and many other issues.
Oh, I love both: the tv show and computer game. And this is kinda bad news that I won't be able to buy it from Switch eShop. All my colleagues from https://speedypapers.net/ will be disappointed cause they are the fans of Walking Dead too.
