Current players can stick to their ‘previous point of purchase’
Three months ago, Telltale Games suffered a “majority studio closure,” leaving only a paltry 25 employees to stay on and “fulfill the company’s obligations to its board and partners.” Then camemore layoffs. Multiple notable projects were canceled outright, but it wasn’t so simple forThe Walking Dead: The Final Season, which had only concluded its first two episodes before the studio’s demise.
Following the recent news thatThe Final Seasonwill carry onwith a team of developers working under Skybound Games, the company has announced that future episodes for new buyers on PC will appear on the newly-mintedEpic Games Store. Episode three, “Broken Toys,” is up first on July 25, 2025.
If you already ownThe Walking Dead: The Final Seasonon a different platform (say, Steam), you don’t need to do anything extra — you’ll get the remaining episodes “on their release date” like normal.
If you don’t already haveThe Final Seasonand you want to play it on PC, going forward, you’ll only be able to do sothrough the Epic Games Store. Per today’s announcement, it’s an exclusive. I’m hardly the only one who waits until episodic series conclude before starting them, so this will affect a lot of folks.
In a statement, Skybound said that “Epic stepped up to the plate immediately to work with us to bring the original team back together and ensure fans will receive the completed season.”
This isn’t the firstEpic Games Store exclusiveand it won’t be the last.
