Ousted Telltale CEO Kevin Bruner comments on studio’s fate

The cofounder and former chief executive officer of Telltale Games has posted a public statement about the studio’s reported layoffs and potential closure. Kevin Bruner started Telltale in 2004, but new investors helped force him out of his leadership position in 2017. Now, while still embroiled in a legal fight with his former company, the studio has laid off most of its staff, according to a source that confirmed it for GamesBeat and other press reports. Telltale is now merely a skeleton crew that is trying to finish The Walking Dead: Season Three.

“I can say that I’ve done everything within my power to prevent today from happening,” Bruner told GamesBeat. “I’ve never wanted anything more than for Telltale to thrive.”
