Penny Arcade’s clever, cunning Tycho; Team Fortress 2’s hulking Heavy; Homestar Runner’s self-proclaimed awesome icon, Strong Bad ;and the hyperkinetic “rabbity-thing” from Sam & Max come together in ways some never thought would be possible in Poker Night at The Inventory.  They’ve left a trail of victims in their wake a mile long – with heavy weapons, biting sarcasm and irony -- and Poker Night at The Inventory brings these players to a new battleground: the poker felt.  In honor of Tycho’s place at the table, Telltale has staged this announcement for the Penny Arcade Expo, which begins tomorrow at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, WA.

Telltale launched the Pilot Program this Spring to deliver creative and innovative ideas to market, with inspiration from the entertainment industry’s television pilots.  This initiative provides a system for bringing ideas like this Poker Night to life, providing a platform for companies and characters to come together in unique ways for the first time.

Poker Night at The Inventory features fully voiced characters utilizing Telltale’s dynamic dialog system.  All the characters will talk trash, give unique tells, and react to the game dynamically as it is being played, providing a unique experience with each round played.

Releasing this Fall, Poker Night at The Inventory integrates the Steamworks suite of services, a first for a Telltale game, and will be available for PC and Mac for $4.99.  Telltale promises there are more than a few surprises that are soon to be revealed.  The game is available now for pre-order at Steam and www.telltalegames.com, and PAX West attendees who pre-order the game at Telltale Games booth will receive an exclusive limited edition Poker Night at The Inventory poster.
