The final season has already released a few chapters
Telltale has already released or completed the first two chapters of the final season. That's the reason the company is so hot to find a way to finish. Backlash by gamers who were unhappy with the way Telltale's staff was let go had hindered the search.

Robert Kirkman is heading up Skybound
While there are going to be some bad feelings about this deal, lovers of the series can at least take heart in the fact that the man who writes the comic book the game is based on is going to be helming the video game now. Skybound publishes "The Walking Dead" comics. It seems as though it's in the right hands if it can't be with Telltale.
