The rumors are true! Telltale will be working on a series of videogames based on the AMC television series of The Walking Dead. SVP of marketing at Telltale, Steve Allison, told All Things Digital that they want to see "one million digital downloads" for this new project and feels that "The Walking Dead could become a $20 million to 30 million franchise if all goes well."
Additionally, it's been announced that Telltale is working on games based on the comic book series, Fables.
That's all for now, but I'll have more for you soon as Destructoid is attending a Telltale conference tonight where we expect to see these newly announced games plus Jurassic Park.
Telltale Signs That Videogames Will Be Downloaded, Not Sold at Retail [All Things Digital -- Thanks, Adam Dork!]
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

It would be awesome if they made something with one of these franchises:
Wizard of OZ
Gone with the Wind
Evil Dead
A Clockwork Orange
Persepolis (graphic novel)
this is good news indeed. Fables should be really interesting.
Better not suck!
It could even be an entirely exclusive story too which would be sweet.
The makeup was fantastic but any of the cg was dire. Big letdown considering AMC have my two fav shows on.
Same goes for The Walking Dead.
as penny arcade said
THERE IS A HEAVEN FOR PENISES AND I WILL TAKE YOU THERE
Fables would make a sweet game, though.
REALLY?
Color me excited as FUCK.
I have just lost my shit.
Yes. Base it off the comics fer serious. Which they probably will since the show will move slower than the game development. Which just sounds bananas.
In a way, I'm a little annoyed EA or THQ didn't jump over these first. Then we'd be safe in the knowledge that we'd get really sweeter product. I can't do these games in cheap 2D cheese fests or point and click cheddar. I hope they can prove me wrong.
And for anyone who hasn't checked out Fables comic, you really need to.
"TT haven't done any 3D games in a while."
what? all their games are 3d
