Variety says Kirkman, who writes the ongoing comic series with Skybound that started in 2003, said during a panel at NYCC this afternoon.
We’ve successfully negotiated with Telltale Games for our company Skybound to come in and see Season 4 of the Telltale game to completion,” Kirkman told an audience at New York Comic-Con Saturday night. “We can’t lose Andrew Lincoln and Clementine in the same year.”
The reveal came the same time the season nine premiere of The Walking Dead was released at comic con.
This comes just two weeks after the news that California based company Telltale games laid off their employees and shut its doors on September 21, 2018. The remaining crew was staying behind to finish their work on Minecraft project with Netflix.
Skybound did not release any information on how many episodes their season of the video game will be. Nor do we know if there will be any future renditions of The Walking Dead games after they take hold of the franchise. The first season of the game released in 2012. The first episode of the season four finale was released on August 14th, 2018 with the three remaining episodes completing the story to be released this December.
