We sat down at Gamescom with industry legend Tim Willits, Chief Creative Officer at Saber Interactive and former id Software veteran (Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein), for an in-depth developer interview!
In this conversation, Tim breaks down how Saber Interactive approaches massive IP adaptations including their upcoming Hellraiser game made in direct collaboration with creator Clive Barker, as well as high-profile titles for John Wick and Jurassic Park. He reflects on transitioning from 25+ years of making fast-paced first-person shooters to managing diverse genres like horror, simulators, and action games. Plus, Tim shares a powerful personal story about how Quake changed a player's life, addresses Saber's growing slate of projects, and reveals the one genre he still wants to make!

In this podcast exclusive interview, we sat down with Leslie Harwood (Principal Scene Coordinator) and Jessica Harra Campbell (Design Director) from Telltale Games to discuss the long-awaited development of The Wolf Among Us 2!
During our exclusive interview, the dev team breaks down the decision behind their major tech reset—shifting away from Telltale's proprietary engine to Unreal Engine while building a custom "Telltale Renderer" to retain the iconic visual identity of the original. They also detail key gameplay evolutions, including moving to an over-the-shoulder third-person camera for exploration, how their choice and reactivity systems go deeper than simple "consequences," and why all episodes will release simultaneously despite keeping the episodic chapter structure.

In this interview, AJ breaks down the creative process of building an original IP rooted in reimagined fairy tales, combining 2D and 3D visual styles inspired by Who Framed Roger Rabbit, why they decided to leave multiplayer behind for this project, and the sheer panic of setting their Steam page live during Opening Night Live!
