Telltale's History

Telltale was founded in 2004 by game development veterans with years of leadership experience in the entertainment, game, and online industries. Our founders' experience culminated at the LucasArts division of Lucasfilm, developer of Star Wars and Indiana Jones games, and seven of the all-time top 20 games in the adventure genre.

Telltale's growth has been driven by the ability to create, develop, and publish highly-regarded video game series based upon popular licenses, with a focus on engaging stories, strong characters, and accessibility for diverse audiences.
