[UPDATED 8/29/17] Season 2 Pre Season News Thread - Season 2 "on hold" until HBO Show ends
Pre-Season News Thread
Introducing Pre Season News threads
(I'm trying something a bit new. Pre-Season news threads are like waiting threads, expect that this thread will be locked but still updated with news. Unlike Waiting Threads, you guys can make new threads to discuss individual updates instead of discussing everything here. Pre-Season news threads are meant to cut down on filler discussion in waiting threads when the game is still a little while off. We will make a new, separate Episode 1 Waiting Thread close to the Season 2 premiere...)

In an interview with Eurogamer, Job Stauffer discusses various Telltale games, including the whereabouts of Season 2 of Game of Thrones. He comments that Season 2 is "on hold" until the HBO show ends. Don't expect Season 2 in 2017 or 2018...
- So, Wolf Among Us in the back half of next year. Will that be alongside Game of Thrones?
Job Stauffer: Uhhh... no. Not long after the conclusion of the first season we said would be continuing, and we had designs on the future of Telltale's Game of Thrones. Right now that is on hold. We haven't announced it, which does not mean it's never coming but I think right now we're anxious to get back into Wolf, Walking Dead and Batman and see where things go with the narrative of the [Game of Thrones] show before we really come back to the table with something we're excited about.
Right - obviously next year is the last season of the Game of Thrones TV show. So you'll be keeping an eye on that before making any decision?
Job Stauffer: Right now we're back into being huge Game of Thrones fans. So for us to say what will be the best follow-up to that [the first season] and when that's going to happen, is too soon to say.

People want to know what happens next!
Job Stauffer: We do as well - but we want to know what happens next in the show before we talk about the hows and whens of our return to Westeros.
