King's Quest, hm? I guess I should be excited, but I'm not the biggest fan of Telltale's art style.

On a related note: Games based on the comic-book series Fables were announced as well:
"Today, Telltale Game is announcing an exclusive worldwide publishing agreement with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to develop videogames for the comic-book series Fables." Source

Telltale is on fire, that's for sure.

How many employees do they have?!  They're working on King's Quest, Puzzle Agent, Hector, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, The Walking Dead, and now this. o_O

Plus I bet as soon as they finished some of them they'll announce the development of the next Sam & Max and Tales of Monkey Island episodes (I hope they won't ever get their hands on Grim Fandango or Maniac Mansion/Day of the Tentacle). Telltale is more and more turning into the mishmash company of point&click games and unfortunately the only one which gets US media attention these days.

I prefer Double Fine, where Tim Schafer & Ron Gilbert work together now (even though these guys probably won't do classic point&click anymore) and the small, unsung European point&click developers, such as Daedalic Entertainment or Pendulo Studios who - unlike Telltale - focus on creating beautiful, original hand-drawn p&c games, which are only influenced by LucasArts' and Sierra On-Line's legacy, not based on their classic franchises.

Everything Telltale does is objectively good, but their games on borrowed franchises/IPs  have a routine, yet uninspired feel to them in my opinion and usually leave me mildly entertained but unimpressed. I won't complain, I'm glad that point&click adventures are still being created, but Telltale is an overrated developer in this genre imo.
