Like I said...I made that offers a million times but nobody ever replied. Maybe they are gonna make use of that opportunity as soon as the legal situation has been cleared up to continue the development.
with the next, next gen consoles due out in two years, it might be more realistic to hope TFP haven't been jaded and can have a fresh start then. of course we dont know the specs of these consoles yet and talk of streaming version may or may not make this possible.
I'd love to see the update come but speculation about how far along IG are is just that, speculation. who know how long they knew about TT's problems or when they stopped getting paid.
just got hit with another MD5 yesterday, at least I was only 39 days in but it devastated my base and I wasnt even near it. makes it so much worse when you play one and done.

It is possible to re-release 7 Days for the next gen consoles due to their massive hardware power which should be way powerful enough to handle the game properly. But this depends on estimations how popular 7DTD could become on the next gen consoles.

If they (Sony/Microsoft) go down the streaming path like they have been implying, the hardware on the next gen consoles is going to be nearly as pathetic as the current gen.

According to Playstation Lifestyle as well as several other sites, the sale of Telltale assets has already begun and creditors have been given notice to submit claims. This is the actions of a bankruptcy, plain and simple, and you can bet that anyone with any smarts will run from the mess 7 days to Die on console has become. What I mean by that is quite simply, the game was so poorly ported and the fan base has become so disillusioned, no company in their right minds would be interested in paying anything for the rights to this game, at least from a strictly financial view.
Telltale got their just deserves for putting out such a poorly ported product and failing to fix it. Unfortunately the company that actually did the porting isn't suffering the same fate. Iron Galaxy is still in operation. TFP also received a pretty big and well deserved black eye over this, as this was "Their Game" and the failure of it on console can be traced directly back to them and their choices.
In the end, players got a decent game, flaws and all. It's a shame it fell apart like this but at this point, there's no longer enough money to be made so no smart business would pick up the rights and continue with this game. Best chance of future updates would be something along the lines of paid updates, or new version release to re-energize the finances, but that is unlikely. The very name of the game makes players roll their eyes in distrust.

100% agree, don't expect a 16-core 5.0Ghz CPU with 32GB RAM !
Edit : Latest rumors are about a 8-core Ryzen PS5, currently Ryzen7-CPU is 2.7-3.8Ghz Range (without boost).
My thoughts too.
I strongly believe TellTales mess will cost money, just to recover sources/copyrights.
No one will engage additional expenses just to publish a few bugs corrections.
My hope : "7DTD Console Edition" on PS5/XB2 sold as a brand new product using all new consoles capacities (larger maps, cosmetic DLCs like Minecraft/Conan Exiles, third-person view with (sexy ^^) clothes sold as DLC, ...)

This was posted on the pc side under the telltale layoffs thread. Think it would be a little more appropriate here. Maybe ease some minds a bit. I was happy to read it!!

As much as I would say it would ease some minds it just will not unfortunately. An update will come to console it just will not be tomorrow or any time soon as in at least a few months and that is probably being on the brightest side of things. Even on the darkest side of things it will still get updated eventually. It just all depends on how long the legal side of things take and that it self not one person can answer. Sometimes it gets done in a reasonable time and sometimes it drags out. With the holidays around I place money on dragging out. It is what it is. To be honest plenty of game just came out and lots more around the corner. Take a step aside and play some of those RDR2 is a amazing game by the way. Play something get into it and before you know it console version of 7dtd will have a update.
Can't personally see an update on console ever coming out now, given the state of things and the lack of potential return on any 7dtd console development. I really hope I'm wrong! I've been waiting months for news that would get me and my buddies back on the game, but I'm done waiting now.
TFP - Thanks for the many hundreds of hours of fun. This IS a great game, although arguably one that should have stayed PC only, given the huge multiplayer restrictions, no dedicated servers and console power limitations. Regardless, I appreciate the effort to bring 7dtd to console players and I, for one, definitely got my moneys worth!
I won't be checking in on the forums anymore, but should I ever hear of an update, or should I come across a PC to play 7dtd on, I'll be back in a heartbeat!
To the 7dtd community, who have always been great (even in disagreement!) and are a real asset to the game, so long and thanks for all the blueberry pies!
PEACE OUT (hopefully just for now)

Maybe....maybe not. Just me trying to stay positive i guess. Ive been looking at ebay to see if i can find a cheap enough but good enough pc to play 7dtd. Alpha 17 looks amazing, i so wanna dive into that!
What about ps4 i love the game but with bluescreens happening after loading an old save and in new saves it makes it impossible to wanna keep playing we spent money to play the game so we should at least hopefully expect the same love as the PC players its a very good game that has potential and in my opinion it could be great even if you dislike the console versions at least finish what you started please

Not much they can do at the moment. If you took time to read some sticky threads that stay on the front page of threads then you would of seen until recently well a couple of months now that TT handled the console.
You would of read TFP started this project on PC and had no plans until at least they was finished to do the game on console. Then came TT that made a offer and said no worries we will handle console you keep focusing on PC. TT said they seen enough in A14 to be considered a finished game. (Now it obviously was word from word like that but summing it up). Anywya they made the deal and now TT is not longer in business but they still have the rights for console and will not hand them back over without some sort of fight. So now TFP legally has their hands tied and can't do anything at the moment for console. So it is never about them showing PC more love then console because at the time they didn't handle console. But most likely they will get the rights back and take care of this last update and most likely will sell the rights again to someone else because they still have a project to finish on PC. Or they will sell the rights again and let them take care of it all together. But it is possible now they have a bigger staff that they might handle console themselves. Really until it is legally back on TFP hands everything is just speculations on what they will and will not do.

Man just found Stranded Deep was coming to PS4 and those snakes in the grass at telltale was the ones who were going to be publishing it. So now it's not on console and won't be for a while if ever. ♥♥♥♥.... ME....

I love this game so much. Honestly, I'd wait. When I get a little bored of it (which honestly happens with all games no matter how life changing they may be to you) I play another one. But I always come back to this one. The idea of building games like these is amazingly therapeutic. I'm no programmer or engineer but the amount of work that goes into this must be insane. So to get a game like this up to par (graphics wise at least) to what is out now sounds almost impossible. With that being said, I would totally wait. I paid like $25 on PSN for it. It would have been more worth it when it came out first, sure. And I would pay that amount of more for a finished console version of it. Maybe its just me having learned to be content and not stressing out about things out of my control, but I'm OK with what I have now.
There is always something to do in the game.
On top of that, there will be an update sooner or later. So... yeah.
