It would be a total surprise on Telltale's part. The image assets for Steam specifically state it's only a "series of four new games", and it specifically lists each one. 5 and 6 are most likely errors.

Aha, I see. I've never used steam myself.
It would be a huge surprise and I would be extermely happy about it. But then again, why not market a game with all the episodes?
Sadly, it appears TTG is spending all their PR energy on Monkey Island, so there hasn't been any W&G news for quite a while....
If I was to give a guess, I'd imagine they'd be releasing the last episode next week. Though that would be kind of an awkward release date during Comic-Con.

They are already 3 weeks late with the walkthrough for episode 3 and have not even found the time to update the announcement about the planned release date yet, so I don't expect anything any longer.
If it is released this month it will likely be the very last week. Around the release date of LotSN, Jake said this:
As for W&G episode 4 I don't know the exact release date but the episode's coming along nicely. I think live music recording is about to start, which means we're a couple weeks from wrapping up.
So it's likely either next week or the following, methinks.
Ugh, I hope not the 28th. I have a long trip for a listening party the following day. So unless I tear right through it, some of it will probably have to wait till I get back.
Who knows, we are heading into tuesday, so it may just pop up on the site tonight... Muzzled kinda just appeared didn't it? No real fanfare or anything, given that W&G has fallen behind the spotlight of ToMI, they could just unceremoniously release it with no pre-hype.
The Wallace & Gromit games are great, and I'd hate to think they would end up buried by the hype of another series, but I don't think that's really something to worry about. The audiences for Monkey Island and Wallace & Gromit are largely different - many fans of the latter aren't necessarily gamers in the first place. You wouldn't advertise W&G in the same way or in the same places as you would Monkey Island.

Wrong, they announced a release date for Muzzled, they gave it a game trailer preview, a little fanfare an all. The Last Resort is the game that received no fanfare, they just posted a blog, no early release date or anything. So I'm just guessing that they're going to do the same thing they did to Last, this time, end the Season with no glory road.
I'm thinking they REALLY should have waited to finish this up before they started releasing TALES OF MONKEY ISLAND!, since it seems like TALES OF MONKEY ISLAND! is eating up everyone's attention and money.
So, now that it is confirmed to come next week (always tuesday, last tuesday in july) this thread is pretty much lacking a purpose. However, I think it would be amazing if Telltale would have it so If you finish The Bogey Man, and it looks at your save history and sees you've played and completed at least one episode per telltale "season", you would get a sneak peek trailer for Sam and Max Season Three, available to everyone come thurdsay. What do you say?
Today I have finished Episode 3, waiting for Episode 4...
Very funny adventure series, I love it. Technically is awesome, graphics are much better than Tales of Monkey Island...
It says on the W&G page that it is coming in July. Next week is the last week in July, so it should come this week or next. His post speculates that the other games were released on Tuesdays (I can't confirm this because I haven't payed that much attention) so the only remaining Tuesday in July is next week. The episode will therefore be released next Tuesday. Only the part that says it will be released in July is from an official statement.
If it IS coming out next Tuesday, they're really pushing the time! Unlike Tales of Monkey Island Episode 1 though this doesn't have a date set, so it could be any time. They obviously want Episode 4 to be the best, so there's no reason why they couldn't extend the release to next month. I mean, everyone's already bought it...
I have to agree, if it is comming out next tuesday, then they are cutting it really fine...
It is very worrying I feel at the moment. If I were to guess, then Telltale have 3 games possibily 4 on the go at the moment:
1:Wallace & Gromit
2:Tales of Monkey Island
3:CSI
4:Telltales next adventure series.
With the hype of ToMI, W&G seems to have been forgotten. The walkthrough is a prime example of this.
Have Telltale taken on too much at once...time will tell...
I can be patient for the EP 4 release (as I'm currently playing through Loom). Even if it goes a little over schedule due to some currently heavy work loads, it would be hard to call this episodic-adventure-game-business experiment anything but a huge success. So I'm not terribly worried.
Having too much work, and product interest, is the kind of problem a business wants to have, so long as they can keep it under control.

And I wouldn't give up on Tuesday, just yet. TT releases often catch one off guard.

Is this a mistake Telltale or do you plan on extending the series?

Wouldn't be awkward for me; I'm not going.
They're probably trying to phase their releases so they don't compete with each other.
I'm willing to bet that we'll get W&G right at the end of the month, and then the next Monkey Island midway through August.
So it's likely either next week or the following, methinks.

...i am out of adventure games for days now.
hey, thanks for dropping this piece of info! I finished replaying Muzzled yesterday, so I'm in a good shape for the follow-up!

Did I miss something? Where was this confirmed?
Wishful thinking, probably.

I hope not though, I want to play it too!

Excitement commences!!!!!
I love the look of this, looks like a well-loved copy of some old W&G adventure novel.
Just out of curiosity, what use was this intended for?
As for release, Tuesday looks doubtful at this point.
Don't forget Sam and Max 3.
And I wouldn't give up on Tuesday, just yet. TT releases often catch one off guard.
Anyway, I am ready for another strong bad season.
