Right? 𝙀𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 since they’d gotten at least verbal if not written agreements for several of the actors to reprise their roles. 8 - 11 had allegedly agreed to do it, along with some of the companions too. It would’ve been really fun to see Martha one last time, and having Jack interact with 11 would’ve been amazing, especially since he was supposed to appear in A Good Man Goes To War but had scheduling conflicts.
Yup, and considering what he was filming at the time ended up being Torchwood Miracle Day, which was so bad it killed the show on a cliffhanger which 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 hasn’t been resolved even in book/audio form over a decade later, I think we all can agree that him being in that episode would’ve been way better. Instead we got that old, fat, blue guy (that’s literally how he describes himself, I totally forgot his name)
Oh yeah, a looong time ago. Their last actual release under the TellTale name was in 2019 but that was just finishing up some stuff. 2018 is really where they died. They got bought out but have only done 2 games since then, and one of those was just a repackage of their two Batman games with a few bonus features.
Yeah, exactly. I mean The Exodus Code briefly mentioned it but I’m pretty sure that was being written with the planned/canceled follow-up season in mind as the only real mention was Rex talking about how Jack got the whole world dying again. We still don’t know what happened or how it happened. And now with the series being rebooted and the continuity being questionable we probably never will.
I think the general public got a bit bored of narrative choice games where only a few choices actually mattered. Once games like Mass Effect really started pushing what you could do with that, especially ME2/3, it kinda shot down TellTale’s 𝙤𝙣𝙚 gimmick. That and a series of increasingly mediocre releases. Also The Wolf Among Us 2 was planned, then scrapped, then restarted when their catalog was bought LCG, but who knows where the IP is at nowadays.
