Telltale Games Reduces Workforce, Insists Layoffs Won't Affect Projects

Video games company Telltale Games has let go of 25 percent of its workforce. Still, the San Rafael, California-headquartered publisher maintains that the layoffs won't affect any of its previously announced projects. According to Telltale, the move to lay off 90 employees is part of its restructuring, which is expected to pave the way for the better. In doing so, the company believes that it will become "more competitive" in delivering "groundbreaking story-driven gaming experiences with an emphasis on high quality in the years ahead." The company is currently working on "Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two," "Batman: The Enemy Within" and the upcoming "The Walking Dead Collection," which is scheduled for release early December. Telltale has just finished Episode 5 of its "Guardians of the Galaxy – The Telltale Series."
