As reported by Kotaku, Telltale's CEO Kevin Bruner, who also helped found the studio, has stepped down from the role this week, with Kotaku receiving an email that Bruner sent round to all Telltale staff, which allegedly reads as follows:
"Today I am writing to let you know that I'll be stepping away from my position as CEO of Telltale," he wrote. "We've grown aggressively since Telltale's inception, and now Telltale is bigger than I ever dreamed it would be. There are many possible futures for Telltale, and all of them are exciting and uniquely challenging. The time has come to pass the reins to someone that can better drive Telltale to the next level and realise all the potential that is here."
Bruner will allegedly stay on the board of directors during the transitional period, and co-founder Dan Connors will take the "day to day" jobs of the CEO.
In a later update Job Stauffer, Telltale's head of creative communications, confirmed the departure. "Kevin has led Telltale over the past couple of years after he stepped into the CEO role for co-founder Dan Connors in 2015," he said. "With Kevin departing, Telltale is fortunate to have Dan here to step back seamlessly into the CEO role."
Will this be a big change for Telltale, or should the transition be seamless?
