LCG Entertainment, a new holding company formed by game industry veterans, has acquired the remnants of Telltale Games, the storytelling video game company that shut down in 2018.

Telltale was broke into mainstream consciousness with games like The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, and Tales from the Borderlands. But it ran out of money and abruptly shut down, throwing more than 200 employees out of work. Now it will be born again, as Los Angeles-based LCG Entertainment will operate it under the Telltale Games name. The purchase price wasn’t disclosed.
