Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead: The Final Season is officially back from the grave, as its Episode 3 finally has a release date after the turmoil that surrounded the developer.

Skybound Games, owned by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, released the trailer for Episode 3: Broken Toys to show what is coming up next for Clementine, the protagonist of the series.

Episode 3: Broken Toys now has a release date of January 15 next year. Many thought that the last season of The Walking Dead would no longer happen, but it now looks like Clementine’s story will see the ending that it deserves.

Telltale Games, the studio behind games such as The Walking Dead, Tales from the Borderlands, and The Wolf Among Us, laid off most of its employees and cancelled most of its projects in September. Employees stayed on to finish Minecraft: Story Mode, but it looked like The Walking Dead: The Final Season would abruptly end.

Just a few days after the announcement of the studio’s pending shutdown, Telltale revealed that it was talking with potential partners to help finish the last two episodes of  The Walking Dead: The Final Season. The project was picked up by Skybound Games, and two months later, Episode 3: Broken Toys is officially on the way.

“We’re extremely thankful to the team working on this game to make sure the season is finished with the quality the game and the fans deserve. We are #stillnotbitten,” said Skybound in the blog post that revealed Episode 3’s release date.

Skybound also noted that the past seasons of Telltale’s The Walking Dead and the first two episodes of The Final Season have returned on all platforms except PC. Skybound is working on it and will release an update to PC players before Episode 3 arrives.

Players who pre-purchased the whole The Walking Dead: The Final Season will still be able to access Episode 3 and Episode 4.

The teaser video that revealed the January 15 release date for Episode 3: Broken Toys featured many people that Clementine met and lost during her journey, as well as what may be next as her story draws to a close.

One of the longest-running game shows on TV is finally coming to streaming. Jeopardy!, all 41 seasons of it, are headed to streaming in early 2025, host Ken Jennings announced. The US Sun has reported that the show will most likely come to either Hulu or Amazon Prime Video. The reporting comes from a recent taping, where Jennings answered a behind-the-scenes question about whether the show was headed to streaming. “It is happening, indeed,” he apparently said.

Demand for some sort of on-demand way to watch Jeopardy! has been rising since the show's dedicated Pluto TV channel disappeared in July 2024. While reruns are still available on various Pluto TV channels, the entire show has not been made available on any streaming service.

Microsoft has announced some upgrades to its Xbox Wireless Headset on Tuesday, with improved audio, better battery life, and an upgraded microphone for $110, which is $10 more than its predecessor. And it's available to buy now.

Xbox calls this a "refresh" in the announcement post on its website, and indeed it doesn't change up a lot in terms of design. The only significant difference is that it no longer sports a green ring around the earcups. Instead, it opts for an all-black look.

Few shows have had the kind of impact that Euphoria has had. The show became a phenomenon through its first two seasons and also launched a generation of young talent, including several performers who seem destined to be major movie stars.

As any fan of the show knows, though, it's also been off the air for several years now (season 2 aired in 2022). While the show is returning for a third season, it's been reported that there will be a time jump to account for the aging of the actors. Zendaya, the show's star, thinks that time jump is actually going to be a good thing.
