Telltale’s ‘The Walking Dead: Michonne’ Set To Sneak Up On Us Soon?

Briefly: All the way back at this year’s E3 in June, Telltale Games revealed that while we wait (forever, apparently) for their amazing The Walking Dead to get a third season, we’d be getting a three-episode mini-series that’s focused entirely on one of the series’ fan-favourite characters, Michonne.

They revealed that the game “stars the iconic character from the comic book series haunted by her past and coping with unimaginable loss and regret. The story explores her untold journey during the time between issues #126 and #139. Through this Telltale Games mini-series of 3 episodes, players will discover what took Michonne away from Rick, Ezekiel, and the rest of her trusted group… and what brought her back.”

It sounded like a welcome addition to the lore of Robert Kirkman’s comic book, as there isn’t a The Walking Dead reader alive who wasn’t curious about Michonne’s journey during those issues, but following the announcement, the developer went silent about the title.

Until today, when Head of Creative Communications for Telltale Games Job Stauffer took to Twitter with an exciting revelation:

Played @TheWalkingDead: Michonne today with the team. Fresh, brutal, and it’s about to sneak up on you… Be ready! pic.twitter.com/pF6iADBgPD

Telltale often likes to do surprise launches of their games (or new episodes, like Minecraft: Story Mode‘s second episode last month), so the fact that Job said this via Twitter has me firmly believe that we’ll be seeing a lot more of The Walking Dead: Michonne, and soon! He also noted that we won’t be hearing about the third season of the main The Walking Dead series for quite some time! I’m actually totally okay with that, as Telltale is on fire right now, and I don’t think I have the time to add another one of the developer’s titles to my already-full Telltale queue. 

.@kennethgomad02 @garfep there will be no news on @TheWalkingDead S3 until, at earliest, after the new Michonne Mini-Series concludes. — Job J Stauffer (@jobjstauffer) November 10, 2015
