[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60915, member: 1"] Narrative adventure developer Telltale Games, the studio currently working on The Wolf Among Us 2 and which just released The Expanse: A Telltale Series, has undergone layoffs which one former employee says impacted "most of" the studio. The news first circulated via a post on X (formerly Twitter) by former Telltale cinematic artist Jonah Huang, who said that these layoffs took place in early September: Telltale has confirmed that it has undergone layoffs in a statement sent to IGN, but did not confirm the number or extent. Its statement is as follows: Notably, Huang was part of the first iteration of Telltale Games as well, which [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/09/21/telltale-games-reportedly-shutting-down']similarly underwent significant layoffs before closing entirely[/URL] in 2019.
