Confirmation of the further announced projects and their status will be announced in the coming weeks. CEO Peter Hawley blamed poor sales as the primary reason for closure

Additional update:

All games are canceled. The Walking Dead won't be completed. Only thing they are finishing is Minecraft for Netflix.

Very sad to see this and I enjoyed that style of games and really enjoyed the ones I played. I was looking forward to the stranger things game in the works

Unfortunately, I guess people weren't buying the episodes enough and just waiting until the entire season was done and buying that instead. I warned people a while ago don't do that. When you do that, you just hurting companies. Companies want to see positive revenue every quarter, not some well people buying the entire season at once later on.

It definitely sucks. I loved their Batman games. Their take on it was very well done. The 2nd game ended on a cliffhanger, so I guess we won't see a third game come to fruition unfortunately. Sad to see a company go under like that because you know their employees work hard to put out quality games.

Yeah I was definitely looking forward to season 3 of Batman.

Damn I can’t believe they cancelled the walking dead in the middle of their season.

Crazy. No closure on that series whatsoever now. What a damn bummer.

Hope all the employees can find another job soon. I saw on twitter there is no severance.

That doesn't make sense though. Why would they offer the season pass if it hurt their numbers?

Really pulling for those that are going through being let go. No severance package, living in the Bay area trying to make ends meet with a good job is hard enough. One week left of medical insurance. Some of these people have kids. Telltale can go screw themselves the way they handled this.

Hopefully, all these people get jobs real soon. These devs are the best story tellers in the industry.

I assumed the work on this season was pretty much done already, right? I don't understand why they'd just scrap the conclusion of their most highly regarded title like this. Whoever made this decision clearly didn't care much about the people who have been buying these games at all.

I hate to see anyone lose their job. Best wishes to everyone who worked for this company, I've enjoyed many of the games.

I honestly wish they would've changed, or strayed from their episodic model every once in a while. Most of their games were 5 episodes long and they could never deliver those on any kind of a set pattern for customers to anticipate. Because of that, I understand why most people just waited for them all to release at once, or during a sale. I honestly started doing it myself. It would've been cool to see them drop a whole season at once every now and then.

Damn. This sucks. How does this affect those of us who have purchased the season pass? I did. I enjoyed episode 1 and looking forward to 2, but do we get refunds or something? It was only 20 bucks so it's nothing to freak out over but still...

I don't see any way you wouldn't get a refund. You won't be able to get what you paid for.

I grew to really dislike their game engine and games over time.

Feel for all the talented folks now out of work.
