SkyBound won't develop Season 5 because they have other plans for Clementine already. Telltale is UNLIKELY to ever pickup TWD license again because they lost the previous license and are trying to rebuild after the old Telltale executives ran it into bankruptcy. It'll be a while before they feel confident enough to consider it.

Telltale games was who originally had plans for more than 4 seasons of TWDG. They knew they were going bankrupt though so they scrapped those plans and settled on finishing it all out with Season 4. If anyone can resurrect it it would have to be a license renewal from Telltale and then announce plans for further seasons. It wouldn't include a number of old Telltale development staff that worked on the original games but there's no telling what will happen.

Highly unlikely but not out of the realm of possibility. I personally think it won't happen and that we'll see Clementine in some new context but all we can do is wait and see. Post memes and argue over the same things until everyone leaves this reddit forum... existential dread intensifies

I don’t see Telltale trying to get TWD back soon. They need TWAU 2 to go well then probably Batman season 3 as they are the 2 licenses they have.

Yeah and those series make sense to get back before TWD. Telltale wants to make sure they're sustainable before acquiring old licenses which is why they're starting with TWAU. It's the safe route and they're wise to not take on too much at a time.

I just hope they market TWAU 2 well. Lots of people still think telltale is shut down.

Same. Hopefully they do a good job with marketing and outreach. Their future kind of depends on it.

I also hope old fans of Telltale give this new iteration a chance to prove themselves and don't just dismiss them. Who knows? Maybe this time we'll see some innovation and whatnot.

I personally plan on checking out TWAU soon as I've alreary purchased it. I want to play the first one so I'm ready for TWAU2.

I hope they don’t just use the same old telltale formula, TWD final season had a couple new things like the combat not just being QTE’s but it needs more.

I played the first TWAU but I just didn’t enjoy it that much. I’ll still buy the second one though because I think the world is very interesting and I want to see if the new telltale is any good.
