Telltale confirms they are moving away from episodic development model, will talk more about Wolf Among Us 2 at a later date

Good. Hopefully what they are delivering will be good across the board. A lot of the final 2-3 episodes in a season went down in quality compared to how it started imo.
Sounds great to me.
TWAU2 is one of my most anticipated projects. They should take all the time they need.

Perhaps the only game where I can say it is better than the source material. Man, Fables goes downhill so fast after the Adversary is disposed of
I'm ok with this. They can still keep an episodic format Alan Wake style if they think it still serves the structure.
I initially read it that they're developing the entire season at once. They could still release it episodically but more like every week vs every month?
That's not what they said. They said they're developing the entire season at once. It will still very likely be an episodic release.

A release a week apart is not "episodic" in the traditional sense, which is what Telltale is known for and moving away from. It's semantics.
I'm sorry, but I disagree. While going weekly is moving away from afar Telltale had done in the past, it's still episodic by definition. If any other game came out in a weekly format that would be considered episodic by everyone (tell me why is a recent example).

Again, that's why I say it's semantics. It's episodic in the literal sense, but it is not "episodic" in the Telltale sense which is who the thread is about.
if the entire game is just done and they're going to stagger the release arbitrarily via episode format that's stupid and everyone would dislike it
edit: since this post was made they clarified it would be less of a wait than old telltale games so i'm just a big stupid head, don't quote this. i know.

I feel like the thread title might be misleading, though. Might be good to request a change.

I like episodic if it's all released over a short window. 2-4 months between episodes does nothing for me and just makes me forget what's going on.
Every week is cool, or every month at most is fine.

It worked for Resident Evil: Revelations 2 and Tell Me Why. If they release the episodes a week or two apart, it'll be fine.
i was operating under the assumption it was the old telltale way where it's like months. my bad. everybody can stop quoting me now lol
As long as they stick with the episodic format in terms of game structure and story then I'm fine with that.
Good.
by the time all episodes released I would forget a series. Much better to buy the full experience

They haven't confirmed anything specific. But the rumor going around last week was "All episodes Winter 2021". Interpret that how you will.
Episodic just means something is released in episodes. It has nothing to do with what the time period between episodes is. Either something is episodic or it's not.
I agree, i never finished the comic, it was Boring quite fast.
Were revived under new owners, with many of the old Telltale creative heads returning.

The name and assets were bought last year by a private company and rebooted. A lot of old employees were hired back.
