Having teased it last week, Telltale have now revealed that they're working on Poker Night at the Inventory, a poker game featuring an all-star cast from Steam's most eminent downloadable titles. Penny Arcade Adventure's Tycho, Sam & Max's Max, Team Fortress 2's Heavy and Strongbad's Cool Game for Attractive People's Strongbad are all confirmed as players.

From the Telltale site comes this brief description: "Prepare for a different kind of poker night in a very different kind of club. In Poker Night at the Inventory, you'll deal with Penny Arcade's clever, cunning Tycho, Team Fortress 2's hulking Heavy, Homestar Runner's self-proclaimed "awesome icon" Strong Bad and the hyperkinetic "rabbity-thing" from Sam & Max. These characters come together in ways some never thought possible, in a setting few would have predicted. You'll experience a new style of poker, particularly when hands don't go the way of the other fiery competitors at the table."

This isn't the first time the developer, best known for their point-and-click pedigree, have dabbled in pokering - they released Telltale Texas Hold'em back in 2005. Poker Night at the Inventory, meanwhile, is set for a "Fall 2010" release.
