Telltale Turns Five

Pioneer of episodic gaming reports that it has sold a million games since its birth.

Five years after starting up, Telltale Games reports that it has sold one million of its episodic graphic adventure games.

Established by ex-LucasArts developers that worked on such classics as Sam & Max Hit The Road, TIE Fighter and Full Throttle, Telltale has now released over 20 episodes across several licences, including Wallace And Gromit, Sam & Max, CSI and Strong Bad, and now produces games for both PC and Xbox 360's XBLA.

As CEO and co-founder Dan Connors told us in an interview that begins here, his eyes are firmly fixed on developing Telltale's capacity to produce monthly episodes of interactive storytelling in a similar manner to a TV production company. And he has a rather ambitious goal:

"I think we’d even want to be our own network. You sit down, you’d pull down a movie, go over to CNN to watch some live reporting and then you’d flip over to the Telltale Channel and see all these seasons of different products and you’d just select whichever one you want to play."
