Telltale Games Crossover Tease Revealed: It’s a Poker Game
by Susana Polo | 10:45 am, September 3rd, 2010
Last weekend Telltale Games released an inexplicable teaser trailer for an upcoming project, that primarily featured the above image, calculated to create one specific response in the viewer:
What the heck kind of game is going to have Tycho from Penny Arcade, Max from Sam & Max, Strongbad, and the Heavy from Team Fortress 2 in it?
Today, we have an answer: A poker game.
Poker Night at the Inventory is already available for pre-order from Telltale Games ($5, or £3 if you order from UK Steam), and is described thusly:
Prepare for a different kind of poker night in a very different kind of club. In Poker Night at the Inventory, you’ll deal with Penny Arcade’s clever, cunning Tycho, Team Fortress 2′s hulking Heavy, Homestar Runner’s self-proclaimed “awesome icon” Strong Bad and the hyperkinetic “rabbity-thing” from Sam & Max. These characters come together in ways some never thought possible, in a setting few would have predicted. You’ll experience a new style of poker, particularly when hands don’t go the way of the other fiery competitors at the table.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun even has a few screens, like this one:
There is no release date for the commencement of this high stakes game, but Telltale promises it will be out this “fall.”
For more info, including more screenshots, the Rock, Paper, Shotgun article can be found here.
