Fans have suggested many different ideas for what DLC for The Final Season could entail. One of the things that fans have been requesting the most since the final episode of The Walking Dead dropped, and even before it came out, has been DLC. Besides, with new streaming services like Google’s Stadia, which promises to allow gamers to stream powerful video games to their phones or laptops without any drop in quality, just around the corner, it might not even be necessary to take the time and resources to create mobile-specific versions of the game. Sure, Skybound could technically either work internally or outsource the porting to an external studio, but it’s arguable that to keep the creative integrity of the original vision intact, it should probably be the StillNotBitten team making the ports themselves, but if a lot of them aren’t around to do that anymore, then mobile ports of The Final Season might just not happen.

Plus, The Final Season simply wasn’t made with mobile ports in mind, like previous seasons were, and in order to create a version of the game that could run smoothly on those platforms, some rather significant adjustments would likely need to be made, which brings me to my second point, which is that the StillNotBitten team (ex-Telltale employees that Skybound hired to finish development of the game) was hired by Skybound on a contractual basis and many of them have now moved on to full-time employment elsewhere once they had finished their contributions to The Final Season. The mobile versions of A New Frontier already run pretty rough, so you can imagine what adding things like The Final Season‘s multiple action sequences and updated graphical style would run like. For one thing, The Final Season is more powerful, from a technical standpoint, than other entries in the series. That said, this is significantly less likely than those Switch ports we were just talking about for a few reasons.
