October 17th is the big coming out party.

Telltale Games dropped the skinny in an appropriately tongue-in-cheek blog entry over at their official site. The title? “Production Halted on Sam and Max Episode 1”. Heart-stopping! But don’t fret: they’re halting production because it’s finally done.

Sam & Max, those freelance police so beloved by gamers the world over, are finally getting ready to roll out of retirement for their next adventure. The first of the new “TV serial-styled” episodes hits GameTap for downloading on October 17th.

If the article is any indication, the guys over at Telltale have been working hard to make this one a winner. Party hats and baked goods are now in effect over at the development studio. Why not celebrate along with them by heading on over to the official blog and checking out an exclusive video promo they’ve put up for Sam & Max : Culture Shock. It’s there right now.
