When asked about Telltale’s previous plans to release a game based on Stranger Things, he said that the rights had reverted back to Netflix. The status of previous Telltale licenses such as Borderlands, Game of Thrones, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Minecraft has not been announced. That license is now owned by Skybound, which has its own plans for game releases. But it looks like The Walking Dead won’t be coming back. “We’re still evaluating, but we definitely want to continue some of the stories,” he said. Ottilie said it’s possible the new Telltale will pick up some stories where they left off. “We’re working very hard not to make similar mistakes.” “There are some other expired licenses that we’re looking at,” he said.

In an interview with Polygon, Ottilie confirmed that the new business has back-catalog rights to licensed properties The Wolf Among Us and Batman as well as full rights to original Telltale games such as Puzzle Agent. Neither worked at Telltale Games prior to its shuttering in 2018. Waddle’s previous experience includes running sales and marketing for the Havok game engine. Ottilie has spent much of his career in mobile games, most recently as founder and CEO of Galaxy Pest Control, which is best known for licensed games based on Duck Dynasty and Power Rangers. Ottilie said that some workers from the original Telltale Games will be offered freelance roles, with full-time positions possible in the future. The new Telltale is headed up by Jamie Ottilie and Brian Waddle. The new company will sell some of Telltale’s back catalog and will work on new games based on a few Telltale-associated properties, as well as new licenses. Telltale Games, which shut down last year, is being revived after its assets were purchased by a company called LCG Entertainment.
