Telltale's The Walking Dead: The Final Season has been removed from sale on digital stores

Last week, Telltale Games laid off the vast majority of its staff, with those affected reportedly including the entire team working on the still-incomplete final season of The Walking Dead. In light of that news, it's unsurprising to learn that the game has now been removed from sale on digital stores.

The Walking Dead: The Final Season was intended to bring closure to the character of Clementine, whose story began in 2012's critically acclaimed inaugural season. Telltale's concluding arc was scheduled to arrive in four parts but, when reports of mass layoffs at the studio emerged, only one episode had been release. A second episode, the last to be completed before staff were dismissed, launched yesterday.

As of earlier today, however, The Walking Dead: The Final Season has been withdrawn from sale across virtually all major digital stores - including Steam, the Xbox Store, the PlayStation Store, and GOG.com. At the time of writing, it's still available in some locations - Nintendo's Switch eShop and the UK PlayStation Store, for instance - but that's likely to change soon.
