Second Bone installment to release in April
Telltale Games announced today that their second Bone game, The Great Cow Race, will be available for purchase in April. As with the last installment, no precise date has been given. With this announcement, a new section has been added to Telltale's website featuring Cow Race details, screenshots, and concept art.
Unlike Out from Boneville, which was initially offered only through digital distribution, Telltale has confirmed that a CD version of The Great Cow Race will be released at the same time as the download. This will be available for purchase from Telltale's website and will include "value-added extras." As before, the downloadable version will feature a 30-minute try-before-you-buy demo.
"The episodic model has been working very well for us. As promised, we're releasing this installment very quickly after the first, and we're very excited about the number of advances that we're adding to The Great Cow Race," CEO Dan Connors said of the upcoming release. He also alluded to plans for "another game series" which are currently being finalized and should allow Telltale to "get new episodes out even faster." Whether he's referring to Sam & Max or another series is not known at this point.
