LCG Entertainment has announced that they have purchased Telltale Games. In the purchase, LCG Entertainment will do business as Telltale Games. Key assets, trademarks, and several IPs were included in the purchase. The new company will work to re-release select games from the back catalog of Telltale Games as well as develop new games in some of the company’s best selling brands. The purchase was led by Jamie Ottilie and Brian Waddle. Here’s a quote from the new CEO of Telltale Games, Jamie Ottilie:
“All of us were big fans of the games Telltale created, as we strongly believe in games as a storytelling medium and nobody did it better,” said Jamie Ottilie, CEO of the new Telltale Games. “Even now, when you see a game with strong narrative, it’s always compared to Telltale, so it’s no surprise that players and industry colleagues alike mourned the studio’s closure. We believe there is still so much life to the brand and its franchises, and we look forward to building upon the company’s storytelling legacy.”
Announcements from Telltale Games are bound to come in the near future, stay tuned at Final Weapon for more news!
