Telltale Games to expand during 2013

The Walking Dead developer Telltale Games expects to ramp up staff next year, having relocated to larger offices.

The North Bay Business Journal reports TellTale has signed a lease on a 22,000 square foot office previously occupied by Autodesk, in order to house its growing staff.

The new studio has room for up to 160 employees, which the San Rafael-based TellTale believes will meet its needs over the next few years. The company currently employs 125 staff, almost double its workforce of two years ago, and will move into the new digs in March or April.

TellTale was founded in 2004 and has made a name for itself by producing quality licensed adventure games, notably the Sam & Max series, CSI, Wallace & Gromit, and more recently Jurassic Park and Back to the Future. Its adaptation of The Walking Dead has been a critical and commercial smash; the fifth episode and season finale is due this week on all platforms.
