Tag: Season Three

Briefly: We’re finally just a week away from a the start of a new season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead, and after the company revealed last week that the season would launch with a two episode premiere, the official launch trailer has just been released.

It’s bound to be a heart-wrenching, tear-jerking few hours, and I can’t freaking wait to get my hands on it. Regulars around these parts may remember that the game’s first season is one of my favourite titles of all time, and it’s been way, way too long since I’ve been able to catch up with Clementine.

For now, we’ll have to watch the game’s gorgeous launch trailer below, and speculate as to what may happen when we meet Javier on December 20th.

Briefly: I can’t even…

At last night’s fantastic The Game Awards, we witnessed many emotional moments, were surprised by many of the award recipients, and saw some World Premiere trailers for a multitude of incredible looking titles (like Prey, oh man Prey).

The biggest surprise of all? For me, it wasn’t Uncharted 4 not taking home GOTY (I could hear Shane cheering all the way from Canada), That Dragon, Cancer taking home the Games For Change award, or the incredible gameplay reveal for Mass Effect: Andromeda; it’s the fact that Telltale is breaking their tried and true mould by releasing two episodes of The Walking Dead: A New Frontier, on December 20th.

The fantastic (heart-wrenching) trailer introduced us to our new hero, Javier, and just how he and Clementine came to meet. Telltale simply noted that this tale’s opening was simply too large for one episode, so when A New Frontier premieres on December 20th, we’ll have twice as much content to play.

Telltale’s The Walking Dead is among my favourite game series’ of all time, so you better believe I’ll be jumping right into this one.

For now, you’ll have watch (and re-watch) the first look below, but I’d love to hear what your favourite moment in the series has been thus far.

Briefly: We were sort of expecting to see the premiere episode of the third season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead sometime in November, but the publisher has just revealed some new detail about the upcoming episode, some slick new key art, and that it’ll actually debut on December 20th.

The third season is officially titled The Walking Dead: The New Frontier, and as we already knew, Clem is quite a bit older than she was the last time that we saw her. In the game, “When family is all you have left… how far will you go to protect it? Four years after society was ripped apart by undead hands, pockets of civilization emerge from the chaos. But at what cost? Can the living be trusted on this new frontier? As Javier, a young man determined to find the family taken from him, you meet a young girl who has experienced her own unimaginable loss. Her name is Clementine, and your fates are bound together in a story where every choice you make could be your last”

I’m absolutely terrified of what we’ll have to go through…

In any case, the first episode will hit PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC, MacOS, iOS, and Android on December 20th worldwide, while a ‘Season Pass Disc’ including the game up to the third episode (and downloads of the next two) will hit PS4 and Xbox One in February.

An extended first look at the debut episode will premiere at next week’s The Game Awards, so you better bet we’ll be watching. For now, take a look at the key art below, and let us know if you’re excited.

Briefly: Clementine’s sure growing up, isn’t she?

Telltale games has just revealed the first teaser trailer for the third season of its celebrated The Walking Dead video game, and while the teaser reveals very little, it would be hard not to get excited for this one.

Here’s what Telltale had to say about the trailer:

It’s just a brief glimpse, and we’re not yet ready to confirm a whole lot about exactly what it means… but there’s a lot of fodder in there for speculation.

 

So what CAN we say about this upcoming season? For a start, who’s that guy with Clementine? His name is Javier. Yes, Clem returns and will play a key role, but this is a new story as much as it is a continuation of Seasons One and Two. Players completely new to the Telltale series will be able to jump right in without feeling lost at all, and those familiar with previous seasons will perhaps find some even deeper meaning, as we’ll be working to ensure save file decisions will carry over from the last two games if you’ve played them in the past.

 

When it comes to Clementine, players’ relationships with her have very much evolved over the course of Seasons One and Two. In Season One, it was all about playing a more paternal role and helping a little girl find her feet and the courage to survive in a world gone to hell. Season Two was about Clementine developing her skills and becoming more independent of the people around her. In this next season, she’s in her early teens, and has grown to be a person who is clearly capable of handling herself – someone very much on the same level as Javier, a fellow survivor who has been through hell, and has managed to remain alive as long as Clem.

 

Clem has also been through a lot since we left her at the end of Season Two… and depending on the paths players may have taken with her in the past, she may or may not be exactly the same person we knew back then. You’ll play as both Javier and Clementine through the course of the season, but exactly how that works is one of the exciting details we’re not quite yet ready to reveal.

 

We’re thrilled to be able to share this with you. Stay tuned for more info on this new season as we head towards the premiere this fall!

The first season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead title remains one of my favourite games of all time, and I really cannot wait to get another taste. Take a look at the teaser below, and be sure to let us know what you think!

Briefly: If you’re a regular around these parts, you’ll know that we’re huge fans of Telltale’s The Walking Dead video game series.

Last month, the first episode of The Walking Dead: Michonne was released, and as much as I’ve loved what I’ve played of the title so far, I really, really just want to see what happens to Clementine, and I’m sure that I’m not alone in that sentiment.

Mashable today reported that Telltale should officially reveal the third season of the game right around SDCC, and that the first episode will be released before the year’s end.

Telltale CEO Kevin Bruner spoke of the upcoming season, noting that “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.”

Yep, we cannot freaking wait.
