Telltale Games chose the worst day of the year to announce a new game, but it seems it's a real announcement after all. "Poker Night 2," a sequel to Telltale's original pop-culture mash-up poker game "Poker Night at the Inventory," is coming to XBLA, PSN and PC and Mac through Steam sometime late-April. The press release reads:
"Taking the fifth seat at the table, players will be joined by an all-star cast:
- Claptrap from Gearbox Software's critically-acclaimed and multi-million selling Borderlands video game series
- Brock Samson from Adult Swim's animated series The Venture Bros.
- Sam from the Sam & Max video game and comic book series by Steve Purcell
- Ash Williams from the cult classic movie Army of Darkness. Groovy!
Players at the table will be assured of a fair hand dealt under the unblinking gaze of a Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System from Aperture Science research facilities. Otherwise known as GLaDOS from the Portal and Portal 2 games by Valve, Inc.
Most intriguingly, players will be able to earn "Bounty Unlocks," unlockable avatar enhancements in "Borderlands 2" and "Team Fortress 2," as well as themes on PS3 and avatar awards on Xbox 360, by accomplishing certain goals in "Poker Night 2." It's all delightfully incestual.
No pricing details were released. The trailer is below:
