What’s in a name? Less than you might think. A company called LCG Entertainment announced the return of Telltale Games to the US press this month, just under a year after the venerable adventure game studio was shut down. This new doppelganger plans to sell games from Telltale’s back catalogue and to work on new entries for some of its episodic series.

“We’re still evaluating, but we definitely want to continue some of the stories,” Jamie Ottilie tells Polygon. Ottilie was CEO of a mobile developer behind licensed takes on Duck Dynasty and Power Rangers, while his business partner, Brian Waddle, marketed the Havok physics engine – the same one that’s been adding splash screens and wobbly objects to PC games for two decades.
