Telltale's First Original IP Is The 'Most Ambitious' Thing The Studio Has Ever Done

Thus far, Telltale have only been seen as great caretakers of other people's franchises. They do that exceptionally well, mind you. Their work on Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead and Fables speaks for itself. However, the developer has never launched their own original game.

That is about to change. As we learned when Kevin Bruner became CEO of the developer, Telltale is working on their first original title. Speaking to GamesIndustry International, Bruner opened up a little bit more on the game and the developer's ambition with it. In the interview he says:

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. The right kind of story, the right kind of setting, the right kind of people involved, everything.

It kind of rose organically and doing your first original IP is a pretty big deal for any company so it's something we're pouring a lot of love into. 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.

I have no image in my head as to what this will look like, but at this point I trust Telltale's creative instincts. Until they stop hitting season's out of the park, I will always line up to play their games. I'll be interested to see what comes from the developer as they are finally able to build from the ground up.
