Telltale is moving away from their old game engine

After creating games based on famous franchises like The Walking Dead, Batman, Minecraft, Game of Thrones, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Jurassic Park - all based on the same game engine - it's finally time for developer Telltale Games to move onto something brand spanking new. Well, maybe not brand new, but different at least.

The Wolf Among Us: Season 2 (which was delayed into 2019 recently) will likely be the developer's very first game running on the super-popular Unity engine. Also, at the beginning of the year Telltale began scouting for Unity-experienced engineers as spotted on the studio's own website, and now Variety reports that the move to Unity will serve as a fresh start for the studio after there were massive job cuts together with a lawsuit filed by its former CEO.

Developers are allegedly readjusting to this new engine as they're moving forward, which in turn causes a longer development process than we've come to expect from Telltale, who have been pumping out games on a very regular basis for years.

Is this the right time to change engines?
