Telltale’s ‘The Walking Dead: 400 Days’ Coming In Early July! UPDATE: Release Dates Revealed!

The video is kind of awful (and beyond awkward), but seeing as it reveals plenty of The Walking Dead: 400 Days info, it’s definitely worth the watch.

Telltale’s upcoming DLC for 2012’s best game is coming sooner than you’d expect. In a new episode of ‘Playing Dead’, the developer has revealed that The Walking Dead: 400 Days will launch for a cool $4.99 in early July.

The video reveals that 400 Days is set after the conclusion of the game’s first season, and is not directly related to the content that you’ve already played. A season one playthrough is not required to understand the chapter, but those who have completed the game will feel “familiar”, and get a better understanding of exactly what’s going on.

The most exciting part of the video (for me, at least), is not the info on the DLC, but a small revelation about The Walking Dead: Season Two400 Days director Sean Answorth states that “[We’re] trying not to do the same thing. I mean, that’s what season two is for, right? I mean, we’re going to go into season two, and continue the story started in season one.”

Could the story of Lee and Clementine continue? Telltale’s The Walking Dead is one of the most incredible, emotional gaming experiences I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing (second only to the just released The Last of Us… maybe), and I would do almost anything to learn the future of these characters.

Watch the newest episode of ‘Playing Dead’ below, and let us know if you’re excited for the DLC!
