For the next season of The Walking Dead: The Game, Telltale is working on a way to for gamers to carry over their choices with an import save feature.
In an interview with the Red Bull UK website, Telltale Games CEO Dan Connors told the site that the studio is currently figuring out how to transfer saves from the first season, which ended in November with Episode 5, "No Time Left."
"Right now we are just starting to form the concept for season two. This all remains to be seen but we are definitely figuring out how to carry the saves over," said Telltale's CEO and co-founder Dan Connors, asked what the plans were for a second season of the game.
Connors did not get into the details of the second season of the hit game, but did say the company is focused on great story telling and would like to work on a Star Wars game in the future.
"Coming from LucasArts, we always felt we could do a great Star Wars story game," Connor told Red Bull UK. "We also love the idea of building out a deeper story to a great game franchise, something like Half Life Stories or Halo Stories."
Telltale recently announced that gamers have downloaded 8.5 million individual episodes, which the Wall Street Journal roughly calculates at more than $40 million in sales.
According to the Wall Street Journal's article, Connor said about a quarter of those sales is from the iOS platforms, the iPhone and iPad. He also said that part of Telltale's success is capturing the essence of the intellectual properties.
"The final piece of the puzzle was bringing in franchises and capturing the true essence of them," Connor told the Wall Street Journal. "That's what "The Walking Dead" does: It's the interactive experience that is the essence of (the TV show) "The Walking Dead." It all comes together there."
The Walking Dead: The Game is available for Xbox 360 via Xbox Live, PlayStation 3 via PlayStation Network and for iOS devices via the iTunes store. The game is also available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in a retail edition that collects all five episodes.
