Sam & Max bundle up for August
Downloadable content isn't everyone's cup of tea, so for those who have held off from playing Sam & Max: Season 1 these past few months, your patience will be rewarded this summer. The Adventure Company (North America), JoWood Productions, and Telltale Games announced today that the six-episode Season 1 will be released as a retail product worldwide this August.
Currently available only through GameTap or as downloadable content purchased from Telltale, and with four of six episodes released so far, Season 1 is the long-awaited return of everyone's favourite canine shamus and hyperkinetic rabbity thing after a 13-year hiatus following the LucasArts classic Sam & Max Hit the Road. The new series consists of distinct standalone episodes with a loosely connected story arc tying each episode together.
For those who have already invested in the series, the upcoming episodes will still be available for purchase from Telltale. The new deal will simply bring the ongoing adventures of the Freelance Police to a much wider market when it hits store shelves in August.
