Telltale Games announces a release date for Bone: The Great Bone Race, saying the next installment in the episodic comic-inspired series will be available next month:

Just like the competitors in the Bone saga's big contest, the team at Telltale has been moving rapidly to get Bone: The Great Cow Race game ready for release this April. Visitor's to http://cowrace.telltalegames.com can now view screenshots and concept art from this title, and can also sign-up to receive a timely alert upon the game's release next month.

The Great Cow Race is the continuation of a new breed of episodic interactive entertainment that Telltale began last fall. The company released Bone: Out from Boneville as the first episode in this series to wide acclaim in September. Hailed by reviewers and educators alike as engaging for all ages, the Bone books on which these games are based have become the anchor for a line of graphic novels from Scholastic’s new Graphix imprint. In an un-paralleled feat in the games industry, Telltale is distributing this follow-up to its first title in the series within a six month period, in order to match Scholastic's book publishing schedule.
