“We want customers to be able to get Sam & Max the way they want it, when they want it,” says Telltale CEO Dan Connors. “One of the biggest benefits of the episodic model is the flexibility it provides. We’ve listened carefully to what this audience wants from an episodic game, and as a result, Sam & Max: Season 1 is the first series with episodes released so frequently and affordably.“
Episodes 2-6 of Sam & Max Season 1 will follow the same pattern as episode 1, with each release debuting on GameTap 15 days before going on sale via Tellltale’s website. Episode 2 is scheduled for December, with subsequent episodes arriving monthly. Telltale will also be releasing machinima shorts on a weekly basis to bridge the gap between each full episode.
