OK, so this is kinda slow news day news, but Telltale Games' new IP - one of the studio's first non-licensed games in some time - is aiming to be its "most ambitious" yet. That's according to new CEO Kevin Bruner, talking about the new IP, which he says rose "organically" at the studio.
“I’ll say we’ve spent a lot of time experimenting over the last decade with how powerful a storytelling tool interactive can be and when we thought about building something from the ground up that gave us absolutely everything we could dream of as storytelling tools,” Bruner told GamesIndustry.biz. “The right kind of story, the right kind of setting, the right kind of people involved, everything.”
Bruner adds that the dev "really approach it from the interactivity and gaming as a new medium for storytelling, so we always put the storytelling first and then when we think about interactivity as a tool for storytelling that's where it's kind of nascent, we feel like we're the tip of the spear for that. It's really exciting, and particularly when we're working with some of the best storytellers in the world."
He goes on to say that Telltale is ready for something new after years of licensed games like The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, Game of Thrones and Tales From the Borderlands.
“It’s probably the most ambitious thing the company has ever done but we feel like we’re ready for it. We’re very excited to talk about it, but we can’t say much more right now. But it is the perfect thing for us.”
As soon as more details on Telltale Games' new IP arise, we'll let you know. Obviously.
