Founded in 2004, the decade-strong legacy of Telltale Games is clear: making the story the star of the game. Pulling from the expansive design team's previous experiences at LucasArts, Telltale has continually made a point to push the episodic gaming market forward with each new release. "Telltale makes story games," co-founder Kevin Bruner says. "Story games are more grounded in role-playing and narrative. They're very writing-driven."
For the new Complex original docuseriesMagnum Opus Games, viewers are invited to take a 30-minute journey through the creativity-first approach heralded by Telltale's expansive catalog. From their adventurous takes on cinematic classics such as Back to the Future and Jurassic Park to their well-received Minecraft spinoff, Telltale has paired clever marketing with equally clever storytelling to build an unparalleled voice in the video game industry.
As many users move toward a more streamlined future in which movies, music, games, books, and all forms of consumable media are simply one multisensory experience, Telltale remains at the forefront of the innovation conversation.
