All part of the churn
This newExpanseseries arrives from therevived Telltale Games, under LCG Entertainment. While it’s rolled out games like theShadow Editionof theBatmanTelltale series,The Expanseis one the studio has been building up to for a while, in collaboration withLife is Strange: True Colorsdeveloper Deck Nine.
Telltale also confirmed thatThe Wolf Among Us 2, its follow-up to the previousFableadventure, is delayed into 2024. The shift is to avoid crunch, and move from Unreal 4 to 5, according to anIGN interviewat the time.
This will be an interesting one to watch, to see what the new Telltale is putting out. Deck Nine’s involvement certainly has me intrigued, asTrue Colorswas a really solid entry in theLife is Strangeseries, and I’m a fan ofThe Expansetoo. Opting for an episodic structure similar to what old Telltale popularized has me curious about its reception, though. At the very least, it will be weeks between episodes rather than months.
We’ll see if the sci-fi drama’s gradual rollout works.The Expanse: A Telltale Seriespremieres on July 27 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Epic.
