Ubisoft have brought over four members from Telltale Games, with no information given as to what those four members roles will be, but they will contribute to “future projects”.
With titles such as, The Walking Dead, Tales From The Borderlands, The Wolf Among Us, and Minecraft: Story Mode sitting comfy under the four members belts. The four will be heading to Ubisoft’s San Francisco studio, and while their roles have not yet been publicly mentioned, I would imagine they’re going to be working on story related roles.
Pierre Shorette, and Nick Herman worked together on Tales of the Borderlands, with Shorette working as the head of writing. He also worked on the second season of the walking dead under the same role, Nick Herman started at Telltale Games in 2006 and was contributing to fifteen of the studio’s episodic series. Rather recently, he found himself as the creative director for the Tales from the Borderlands title.
Dennis Lenart was with Telltale Games for nine years working on the studio’s directions and cinematics for The Walking Dead. He moved on to become the creative director for Minecraft: Story Mode. Finally, one of the four, Adam Sarasohn joined Telltale Games in 2012 after leaving Ubisoft after working there for four years. When he joined Telltale, he worked as a producer and executive producer for The Walking Dead, and Tales of the Borderlands.
