First up is news of Telltale Games’ unfortunate closure on p8. Famous for The Walking Dead episodic series and others, it’s come as a huge shock to the games 008 industry, especially as the studio had some big projects on the horizon, such as a Stranger Things game. We have a full rundown of the situation and what it means for Telltale’s unfinished series. Elsewhere, Remedy’s excellent Alan Wake (p12) is being adapted for TV by Legion’s Peter Calloway. 012 Its episodic horror vibe is perfect for TV, so we’ve got high hopes. There’s also been another studio closure, this time Capcom’s Vancouver office – the people behind Dead Rising (p14). It’s been a huge part of Xbox’s history, so we’re incredibly sad about it, but here’s hoping we won’t be able to kill these 014 particular zombies off completely. Last we look at the huge collection of Final Fantasy games coming to Xbox One’s library on p18. While recent entries have made it to Xbox, you’ll also get the chance to play the classic FFVII on the world’s best console. 018 006 THE OFFICIAL XBOX MAGAZINE THE OFFICIAL XBOX MAGAZINE 007 TELLTALE INSIDER END GAME A sad tale of our times Telltale Games’ releases are in doubt following the shock news that it is shedding most of its staffwithimmediateeffect Over the past few years we’ve ultimately, that did not translate to witnessed a fair share of developer sales.
