Telltale’s Tale of Shifting Personnnel
President becomes CEO; CEO becomes executive advisor
In 2004, Telltale Games was founded by Kevin Bruner, Dan Connors and Troy Molander. Bruner became president and Connors became CEO.
Telltale has announced that Bruner will become CEO, and Connors will become executive advisor. It’s unclear who, if anyone, might become president.
Dan Connors: “2014 marked our tenth consecutive year of continued growth since co-founding Telltale with Kevin Bruner in 2004. In that time, we’ve been incredibly proud to have accomplished so much with some of the most talented people in entertainment.
“2015 is the first of the next ten years for an ever-evolving Telltale. As we enter this new phase, and as Kevin transitions to my former role of CEO, I will remain with the company and on the board in an advisory role that will help ensure Telltale’s vision of continuing to break new ground as leading storytellers in the entertainment space.”
Kevin Bruner: “Each year since Telltale’s 2004 birth has been more exciting than the last, and 2015 will be no exception.
“We’re thrilled to continue our growth and bring our unique style of scripted entertainment to the next generation of digital media, and do that across thousands of different devices. Our top priority is to continue fostering an environment where the most talented and creative storytellers in the industry are working side by side with the world’s biggest creative partners. We’re already working on some of the biggest franchises in entertainment, and when you add our unannounced partnerships and upcoming original IP, it’s clear the most exciting time to be at Telltale is now, and there will continue to be more and more opportunity to innovate ahead of us.”
In its first ten years, Telltale has released such cult IPs as Monkey Island, Back to the Future, The Walking Dead, Tales from the Borderlands, Game of Thrones and The Wolf Among Us. Minecraft: Story Mode, a Minecraft spinoff, is currently in development.
