Unsurprisingly, one of the key problems for many development studios is acquiring project finance. Telltale Games recently revealed that it has obtained $8 million in investment from Hiro Capital and Skybound Entertainment, with whom it has worked for many years. Hiro Capital is an investment business that promotes esports and video game development; Skybound Entertainment is the creator of The Walking Dead comics and has collaborated with Telltale since 2012.
Telltale was able to complete the final two episodes of The Walking Dead: The Final Season following the company’s demise thanks to the support of Skybound. Skybound also released The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series, a collection of all four seasons of the franchise, in September 2019, following the relaunch of Telltale by LCG Entertainment. Since then, Skybound has been Telltale’s publisher.
