It looks like The Walking Dead: A New Frontier, the next season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead series, will be an evolution of their standard formula which has been in place ever since the original Walking Dead season came out in 2012. Basically, it looks like the entire system is now more dynamic than Telltale’s games otherwise have been- which is just as well, because the entire Telltale template was getting a bit too predictable now.

That, plus the old engine was showing some stress at the seams. Maybe an overhaul of the entire gameplay formula would do this new season, as well as Telltale games as a whole, some good. Heck, hopefully this new engine will also be utilized by Telltale’s upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy.

You can check out the trailer below for yourself and see what you think. I personally think this has promise- but I will reserve final judgement until I get to actually play it.

Telltale’s The Walking Dead Season 3 is going to launch on December 20 and those who are wanting to get another look at the game before it hits will be able to see new footage at this year’s Game Awards. It’s been quite a while since we last saw Clementine and company and it’s been plenty long since we heard much about the third season of Telltale’s longest running series.

In a recent press release, Telltale announced the first episode of this season, officially titled The Walking Dead: A New Frontier was being released digitally on December 20 and that a retail boxed copy would be available on February 7, 2017 for the Xbox One and PS4.

Telltale is rewarding those who preorder the game on the PS4 by giving them The Walking Dead: Season 2 and The Walking Dead: Michonne for free. Steam users are able to get a 10% discount if they preorder. If you haven’t played many of The Walking Dead games but want to, we recommend going with the PS4 version considering you get three games for the price of one.

The third season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead is due next year, and today at Comic Con, the company shared some new details on what fans can expect. Telltale hinted that the third season will be seeing players play as Javier and Clementine, although they also noted that players may not necessarily be playing as both of them at the same time- hinting, perhaps, that the two characters may get separated a lot from each other over the course of the story?

Telltale also noted that, in an unusual move for their series which has so far been heavily continuity based, the new season, while continuing the story of the previous two seasons, will also attempt to serve as an entry point for new players. They also confirmed that AJ, the son of Rebecca from Season 2, will be appearing in Season 3.

Javier will apparently be an interesting character to play as- since the character won’t have had any prior relationship with Clementine, he will allow players to look at Clementine, who is a character that players have shaped over the course of ten episodes and two season, with a fresh pair of eyes. Presumably, he will also serve as an insert for the newcomers to the series whom Telltale are trying to appeal to.

The Walking Dead Season 3 is due out next year. Check out some new screenshots for the game below.

Telltale Games has released a teaser for The Walking Dead: Season 3 and who makes an appearance but Clementine from the previous two seasons.

The teaser also features a man named Javier, a survivor who’s “been through hell” and Telltale is promising a brand new story (but those who played the previous seasons will find “even deeper meaning”). Save files will carry over into the third season so your actions in the past can have an influence.

Apparently Clementine isn’t the same girl from before. She’s in her early teens and described as “someone very much on the same level as Javier”. Depending on the decisions you’ve made in the past, Clementine may very well be someone completely different. Both Javier and Clementine will be playable in this season and Telltale is yet to reveal how that’s going to work.

The Walking Dead: Season 3 will be out this Fall (at least it seems the first episode will be).

Telltale Games’ Batman game finally has a title and a release date. Batman – The Telltale Series will be out this Summer according to a tweet by Job J. Stauffer, Telltale’s Head of Creative Communications. But that’s not all.

“‘BATMAN – The Telltale Series‘ will premiere this summer@TheWalkingDead’s 3rd season will premiere this fall#E32016 begins in 1 week.”

The second part is even more interesting. Will we possibly receive a preview of The Walking Dead: Season 3 at E3? One can only hope. A second tweet certainly indicates that Batman – The Telltale Series will be there. “If you haven’t secured an invitation to see us at Wayne Manor yet, you are running out of time!”

Yeah, we don’t know what the Wayne Manor part is about either. But still, intrigue!

What are your thoughts on release dates for Batman – The Telltale Series and The Walking Dead: Season 3? Let us know in the comments below along with what you expect to see.

Telltale’s The Walking Dead: Season 3 is supposedly coming later this year and comic book creator Robert Kirkman had some interesting new details to share when speaking to IGN.

He first noted that the next season will be taking place closer to where the comics currently are. “Season 3 of the Telltale series is really exciting to me just because the way that the timeline works, season three will actually be getting pretty close to where we are in the comics concurrently, like the books that are coming out now are roughly in the same time frame that season three will be in. There’s a lot of really cool, really exciting things coming that I don’t think people will expect.”

It also seems that Clementine (introduced in Season 1 and the protagonist of Season 2) will be making her return, though in what shape and form is unknown. “We’ll be checking in on Clementine again, so we’ll be seeing her, seeing where she’s at and what’s going on with her, which is going to be great.”

Overall, like the recent Michonne mini-series, you can expect more tie-ins to the actual comics in the coming days. “I think, similar to the Michonne series, there will probably be some more comic book elements that will be working into things in some interesting ways. I don’t want to reveal too much, but it’ll definitely go hand in hand with the comics a little bit more than season two did.”

The Walking Dead: Season 3 is expected to arrive on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. Stay tuned for more details as they arrive.

The Walking Dead completely redefined storytelling in video games with its very first season, but the second season, while still telling a stirring story, was stagnant as far as advancing the actual storytelling goes. But that will change with the third season, which developers Telltale say will have a whole new bag of tricks to move storytelling forward- which will also account for all the varying endings that players might have reached at the end of the first season.

“When we got to Season 2, we had a plan in the back of our minds of how we would make all these endings keep those threads going forward,” said Telltale Games CEO Kevin Bruner to Mashable.

“From a role-playing, interactive storytelling point of view, it is not from the bag of tricks that we’ve ever shown anybody before. The way that we’re dealing with and validating and retaining all those different playthroughs is really cool and unexpected and, I think, pretty innovative from the storytelling point of view.”

Maybe this means that some of the new mechanics that they are hinting with the upcoming Batman game this summer will carry over into the hypothetical Season 3.

For now, we don’t even know when The Walking Dead Season 3 will come out. Fans can keep themselves busy with The Walking Dead: Michonne miniseries that is currently underway.

Telltale Games’ third season of its hugely successful The Walking Dead franchise won’t be releasing in 2015 according to the developer. Director of PR Job Stauffer followed up by saying that even though Season 3 won’t be out this year, “what [he is] seeing this week will be, and it is insanely cool.”

Telltale Games has been fairly busy in the past year or so, announcing partnerships with Mojang and Marvel Games, the former resulting in Minecraft: Story Mode and the latter resulting in games for 2017. The developer is also busy bringing future episodes to Game of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands. It also seems to be working on something else that’s Walking Dead-related, for which more details will arrive later.

Either way, players won’t be without Telltale experiences this year. It’s just that the highly involved tale weaved in the first two seasons will have to wait a bit longer before it’s revisited. Stay tuned for more details on Telltale’s next.

Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead will have its third season arrive some time in the future, which pretty much means there’s no set release date for it. Despite not being able to pin down a release, PR boss Job Stauffer did reveal at a recent SXSW Panel that fans could expect to see The Walking Dead again before Season 3 debuts.

Via Bloody Disgusting, Stauffer says that, “There will be a third season of The Walking Dead at some point. We don’t know when yet, but yes, that is a thing.

“Oh, man, I’m going to get an email about this,” he starts. “[The Walking Dead Season 3 is] not necessarily something you can expect to see super, super, super soon. But I think you can perhaps, maybe, expect to see The Walking Dead again sooner, if that makes sense. Does that make sense? I’ll let the Internet work on that one…next question.”

Could it be similar to the 400 Days DLC that premièred before Season 2? Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks (or months) to find out.

Telltale Games announced during Skybound Entertainment’s San Diego Comic Con panel that The Walking Dead would continue into a third season. This was later confirmed on the developer’s official Twitter account.

Created by Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead has become a cultural phenomenon unto itself, spawning a successful television show and several video games, prominent among them being Telltale’s The Walking Dead. Season One was the recipient of several game of the year awards in 2012 while season two is currently on-going and focuses on Clementine as its protagonist. There is currently one episode remaining in the second season but Telltale hasn’t given any details regarding Season Three.

Regardless, it’s expected to carry over the franchise in as compelling a way as the first two seasons have. Telltale is also busy developing Game of Thrones, Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us which will also be wrapping up soon enough. Are you looking forward to The Walking Dead: Season Three? Let us know below.
