New release dates for the episodes will be announced as soon as possible \u2013 with Howe reiterating how there is no reason to hold back this information from fans. The most he was able to say in response to a question about the release, was that episode three would arrive between now and the end of the year:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>OK, given that you guys have been so supportive and patient, I\u2019m going out on a limb and will say yes, I fully expect Episode 3 to be this year and I\u2019ll be very disappointed if we can\u2019t make that happen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While Howe confirmed episode three was on the way, episode four still needs work as production only recently started, as previously <a class=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/10\/telltale_intends_to_hand_over_final_season_of_the_walking_dead_to_another_company\">reported<\/a>. Fortunately, the former Telltale staff members in talks with Skybound are eager to return and complete the season. The team members not returning have apparently been offered roles elsewhere. It\u2019s just a matter of getting the legalities out of the way now so production on episode three and four can start up again.<\/p>\n<p><em>Are interested in playing episode three and four of the final season?
