{"title":"Skybound Games","description":"\u003cp\u003eSkybound Games is the video game publishing division of Skybound Entertainment, the American multiplatform entertainment company founded in 2010 by Robert Kirkman and David Alpert. Skybound works in concert with Image Comics and is home to Kirkman's Eisner Award-winning comic series The Walking Dead, along with Invincible, Outcast, Oblivion Song and other creator-driven properties. The company has carried those stories well beyond the page. Kirkman and Alpert served as executive producers on AMC's television adaptation of The Walking Dead, Outcast ran on Cinemax, the Invincible animated series has streamed on Prime Video since 2021, and the 2023 feature film Renfield was produced with Universal. Skybound announced its games division in April 2018 with a two-part mandate: publish standout independent games, and license video games built on Skybound's own properties. Its first announced deals brought console versions of Monomi Park's Slime Rancher and Hinterland's survival game The Long Dark to new audiences, which marked Skybound Games as a publisher willing to back carefully crafted indie work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe division's defining moment came in October 2018. The collapse of Telltale Games had left The Walking Dead: The Final Season unfinished partway through its run, and Skybound Games stepped in to complete the last two episodes, \"Broken Toys\" and \"Take Us Back,\" which gave Clementine's story the ending players had been following since 2012. Skybound also released physical editions of the season for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. It secured the publishing rights to Telltale's entire Walking Dead series, which let the games return to digital storefronts, and in 2019 it gathered every season into The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series for Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Switch. In February 2019 Skybound announced console releases of Beamdog's enhanced editions of six Dungeons \u0026amp; Dragons classics (Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate II, Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear, Icewind Dale, Planescape: Torment and Neverwinter Nights), extending its role as a steward of well-loved older games. Between 2021 and 2023 Skybound went from the largest to the majority shareholder of developer and publisher 5th Planet Games. Its games ambitions kept growing from 2025, leading to Invincible VS, a 3v3 tag fighter built by its in-house studio Quarter Up, which launched in April 2026 to generally favorable reviews as Skybound's first internally developed game. For players, Skybound's stewardship is why Telltale's Walking Dead saga is still available to play today, starting with The Walking Dead: Season One and Lee and Clementine's first steps through a collapsing Georgia.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"the-walking-dead-pc-download","title":"The Walking Dead","description":"\u003cp class=\"lead\"\u003eThe Walking Dead is Telltale Games' five-part adventure series, set in the same universe as Robert Kirkman's Eisner Award-winning comic book series. You play as Lee Everett, a convicted criminal handed an unlikely second chance when the dead begin to rise. Then he finds Clementine, a young girl hiding alone in her family's backyard treehouse, and she becomes his reason to keep going. It is a story about survival, but above all it is about the kind of person you choose to be when every option costs something.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Story Shaped by Your Choices\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery episode puts you in conversations and crises with no clean answer. Who you side with in an argument, who you save when two people are in danger, what you tell Clementine and what you keep from her: the game remembers all of it. Those decisions carry forward across the whole season, changing how the other survivors treat you and how Lee's story plays out from the first episode to the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany choices come with a timer. When the undead are pounding at the door, there is no time to weigh the options, and the game asks you to commit on instinct. That pressure is what makes the big moments land. You live with what you decided in the heat of the moment, not what you might have chosen with time to think.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLee and Clementine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLee is a man with a past he would rather not talk about. Clementine is a child who needs someone she can trust. The relationship that grows between them is the emotional center of the series. You decide what kind of guardian Lee becomes: how honest he is with her, what he teaches her about surviving, and what example he sets when the group around them starts to crack. Few characters in games have earned the kind of loyalty players still feel for Clementine, and that loyalty is built one choice at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFive Episodes, One Complete Season\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eEpisode 1: A New Day\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe police cruiser taking Lee to prison crashes on the outskirts of Atlanta just as the outbreak takes hold. He finds Clementine, and the two take shelter with a group of survivors in a Macon drugstore, where Lee's own history sits closer than he would like.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eEpisode 2: Starved for Help\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eMonths later, the group has fortified a roadside motor inn, but food is running out and tempers are fraying. An offer of help from a family running a nearby dairy farm seems too good to pass up, and the episode tests how far trust can stretch when everyone is hungry.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eEpisode 3: Long Road Ahead\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eWith the motor inn no longer safe, the survivors take to the road and find a way forward on the rails. Tensions that have been building inside the group finally come to a head, and the choices Lee has made so far start to decide who still stands beside him.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eEpisode 4: Around Every Corner\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe group reaches Savannah in search of a boat and a way off the coast. The city is crawling with walkers and hiding secrets, and what the survivors uncover about the people who tried to hold it together shows how dark this world can become.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eEpisode 5: No Time Left\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe season builds to its conclusion as Lee pushes through Savannah with everything on the line. Every relationship you built and every promise you made comes due in a finale that has stayed with players for more than a decade.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Plays\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween the big decisions, you explore each scene, talk with the people around you, search for supplies and work through practical problems the group cannot solve on its own. When things go wrong, the pace shifts to fast, reactive action where hesitation can be fatal and a firearm is sometimes the only answer. The interface stays out of the way, and full controller support makes it just as comfortable to play from the couch as at a desk, which suits a story you will want to sink into for hours at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy It Still Matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the first episode arrived in April 2012, episodic adventure games were a niche. By the time the fifth landed that November, The Walking Dead had become one of the most talked-about games of the year and collected a long list of Game of the Year honors. It proved a game could be built around conversation, consequence and grief, and it set the template for the narrative games that followed. If you have ever wondered what you would do when the world ends, Lee's road starts here. Take Clementine's hand, keep her close, and find out what kind of protector you turn out to be.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skybound Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46472692172,"sku":"PC_11706976012_DL_GL","price":7.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0875\/3268\/files\/card-the-walking-dead-pc-mac-steam-game.jpg?v=1790818833"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.pjsgames.com\/en-ch\/collections\/skybound-games.oembed","provider":"PJ's Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
