The Council – Episode 3: Ripples Launches July 24th

Focus Home Interactive and French studio Big Bad Wolf announced that the third episode for the drama-driven mystery game, The Council, will release for PC, PS4 and Xbox One starting July 24th.

The third episode picks up where the second episode left off, with Louis de Richet finally found his mother in a hidden passageway through the garden located in the middle of Lord Mortimer’s manor. Louis’ mother isn’t quite in a state that he expected her to be in, with a missing arm and a bloodied face, Louis’ mother is in a hysterical state. Armed with a gun and rambling on as if she has amnesia, the episode ended with Louis trying to plead some sense back into his mother.

Unlike some of Telltale’s other games, The Council’s choices really do impact the outcomes of the game, including some characters who live and die based on your decisions. These choices carryover into the next episode that drastically alter what happens thereafter. It also opens up the possibility to replay the entire series over to discover new routes or secrets.

The Council - Episode 3 Ripples

The first episode started with Louis in search of his missing mother. He ends up on the island where Lord Mortimer’s estate is located. He finds out that Mortimer is part of a secret society that pulls the strings from the shadows to completely alter the course of human history. The Illuminati, basically.

This group consists of some of the most powerful people in the world, including George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte, and members of the Catholic clergy.

You’ll be able to find out what happens next in the unique new IP from Big Bad Wolf when the episode drops for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One on July 24th as part of the season pass, or as a single episode on July 26th.
