According to freelance storywriter Alexis Kennedy, Telltale had been working on a new mobile game related to procedural storytelling involving a popular video game series in the zombie genre (but not tied to The Walking Dead). Telltale had approached Kennedy for his input in the procedural storytelling aspects while he was at BioWare in early 2017, as the project had been ongoing for some time. However, most of this project's team was let go in the late-2017 layoffs.[3]
