2010/06/07German publisher and developer Daedalic Entertainment and Telltale Games, the leading independent digital publisher and developer of episodic interactive entertainment, announced today a new partnership to bring Telltale’s episodic series Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures to retail in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Wallace and Gromit, the well-meaning but accident-prone inventor and his capable and highly-intelligent canine companion, have been delighting audiences with their popular animated adventures for twenty years. Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures combines the rich and imaginative storytelling of Aardman Animations (Shaun the Sheep, Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run) with the critically-acclaimed writing, fun gameplay, and unique episodic format Telltale has pioneered. Alternating between the roles of both Wallace and Gromit throughout the game, players will banter with a charismatic cast of characters, tinker with Wallace's creative contraptions, and enjoy four all-new stories set in the colorful Wallace & Gromit universe.
