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: Andromedait’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: It’s almost time!

Well, we still have just over a month of waiting before last season’s cliffhanger is finally solved (who. did. he. kill?), but AMC has just debuted an exciting new teaser for next month’s premiere.

It’s pretty much all Negan, and he’s pretty much all bad-ass.

Take a look at the teaser below, and be sure to let us know who’s dead!

Briefly: Finally, the moment of San Diego Comic-Con that everyone seems to be waiting for.

Nope, not some new Marvel news (that Luke Cage trailer though), some insane exclusive, or the first teaser trailer for some movie that we won’t be seeing for two or three years.

Following the key art from last week, and the Fear the Walking Dead trailer from earlier this morning, AMC has officially debuted the trailer for The Walking Dead’s seventh season during its Comic-Con panel today.

Naturally, the mystery over who met Lucille in the season six cliffhanger has not been solved, and we’ll have to wait until October to find out. During the panel, Kirkman noted that “You’ll see who was at the end of that bat and what happened from there.” And that the Negan’s victim is “beloved to everyone.”

Without further adieu. Here we go:

The Walking Dead returns on Sunday, October 23rd!

Briefly: While we’re not likely to see our first footage from the upcoming seventh season of The Walking Dead until next week, AMC has officially debuted the key art for the upcoming episodes.

It’s an aggravating piece of art, because WHO THE HELL DID NEGAN KILL AT THE END OF SEASON SIX!?

We won’t know until October, but for now, here’s the image.

Be sure to check back next week when we should see the first trailer for season seven, and stay tuned to Geekscape for everything SDCC!

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: Negan is coming.

And AMC has just given us our first kind of look at the incredibly anticipated character before his debut on this Sunday’s season finale of The Walking Dead.

Yep, he’s holding Lucille, and shit is about to get crazy.

still haven’t caught up on this season of The Walking Dead (I’m about six episodes behind at this point), but as an avid reader of Robert Kirkman’s comic book, I need to make time to get reacquainted with the series this week.

Take a look at the Negan teaser image 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.

Are you looking forward to the third season of The Walking Dead? What did you think of the first episode of Michonne? Be sure to sound out in the comments below!

Graphics and animations have both vastly improved from the game's first season.

Briefly: Well, I still haven’t caught up on this season of The Walking Dead (I’m about four episodes behind), so I’m staying as far away from this video as possible, but for those of you who are interested, AMC has just debuted a new teaser for The Walking Dead‘s upcoming midseason premiere.

With Negan set to debut later this year (perfectly cast, I should add) and a seventh season confirmed, it’s a damned good time to be a The Walking Dead fan.

Take a look at the teaser below, and be sure to let us know what you think! The Walking Dead returns on February 14th!

Briefly: This is probably (definitely) the least surprising thing that I’ve read all year.

The Walking Dead, one of (if not the) the most popular series on television… has been renewed for another season. Also, we’ll be getting another season of that crazy popular talk show, The Talking Dead.

AMC president Charlie Collier shared in the ridiculous sentiment, stating: “Thank goodness someone had a Magic 8-Ball with them in our many long internal meetings about these renewals. When, on the third shake, ‘without a doubt’ filled the murky blue screen, we knew we had to proceed with new seasons of ‘The Walking Dead’ and ‘Talking Dead. All joking aside, we are so proud to share these shows with fans who have been so passionate, communicative and engaged. We are grateful for and continually impressed by the talent, effort and excellence on continuous display by Robert Kirkman, Scott Gimple, Chris Hardwick and the many people with whom we partner to make these unique shows possible. The result: More Walking and Talking. Hooray.”

Scott Gimple will thankfully return as showrunner, and Executive Producers, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, Greg Nicotero, and Tom Luse will also be returning.

An episode count for next season has not yet been revealed, but it’s probably safe to assume that we’ll see 16 episodes as we have for the past four years.

Now that we’re a few episodes into Season 6, is the show piquing your interest once again? I recall last year’s season garnering a lot of negativity from fans, and this year has been all but the opposite,

In any case, are you looking forward to another year of our favourite survivors? Sound out below!

Briefly: Back in August AMC announced plans for a standalone The Walking Dead special, set to take place in the Fear the Walking Dead timeline, and to be set on an airplane in the early days of the infection.

Today, the network announced further details about the special, and it sounds damned cool. Here’s the synopsis:

“Fear the Walking Dead: Flight 462” tells the story of a group of passengers aboard a commercial airplane during the earliest moments of the outbreak. Over the course of the series, the plane and the lives of its passengers are put in jeopardy once they discover an infected traveler. The series is written by L. Signorino and Mike Zunic and directed by “Fear” director of photography Michael McDonough.

I really enjoyed the airplane scene in 2013’s World War Z, and having an extended look at freshly-turned walkers on a plane should be interesting as hell. Or boring as hell. We’ll see I suppose.

AMC has revealed that the first of 16 episodes will debut during this Sunday’s season finale of Fear the Walking Dead, with the remaining episodes airing during commercial breaks of The Walking Dead proper’s sixth season.

While zombies on a plane sound interesting enough, the coolest aspect of the news has to be the revelation that one character who somehow survives the attack will join the cast of Fear the Walking Dead in season two.

Are you down with the idea of a standalone special? Do we already have enough The Walking Dead? Sound out in the comments below!

Briefly: It’s pretty freaking clear that the world cannot get enough of The Walking Dead. From decade-running comic, to the cable-leading main series, to the record breaking companion, to multiple award winning video games (and a new mobile game), it seems as though every single thing with The Walking Dead branding on it is bound for immense success.

We hope that you’re ready for even more The Walking Dead, as EW has just revealed that AMC is planning an awesome-sounding standalone special, one that’s set to take place on a plane in the same time-period as Fear the Walking Dead.

The 30-minute special will debut online at an unannounced time, and also be broken up for airing during The Walking Dead‘s commercial breaks.

While zombies on a plane sound interesting enough, the coolest aspect of the news has to be the revelation that one character who somehow survives the attack will join the cast of Fear the Walking Dead in season two.

I thoroughly enjoyed World War Z‘s airplane scene, and though I definitely avoided 2007’s Flight of the Living Dead, I’m really excited to see what AMC does with this standalone (and whether or not they keep us guessing as to who may survive).

The special will be produced by Fear the Walking Dead showrunner Dave Erickson (who I spoke to back at SDCC) and co-executive producer David Weiner, so at least we know that it’s in good hands.

What do you hope to see in the special? Sound out below!

Briefly: Just one day after the insanely successful premiere of AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead, the network has debuted a stylish new teaser for the upcoming season of The Walking Dead proper.

The video definitely puts style over substance, as it basically just creatively shows off our survivors along with some neat music. But after last night’s Fear premiere, you’re just itching for whatever Walking Dead you can feast your eyes on, aren’t you?

Take a look at the teaser below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to season six.

Briefly: If you thought The Walking Dead‘s intensity had hit its ceiling, it looks like you were wrong. Somehow, things look crazier than ever in the upcoming episodes.

Following the fantastic first trailer for Fear The Walking Dead, AMC has debuted our first look at The Walking Dead’s sixth season, which is set to debut on October 11th.

From the trailer, it looks as though things turn sour between Morgan and Rick, and eventually the entirety of Alexandria. It definitely looks to echo some of the Image Comics series recent happenings, but, of course, with its own TV spin.

And what the heck is Daryl up to?

In any case, take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think! We’ve got quite a ways to wait for this one, but at least we’ll have Fear The Walking Dead to tide us over. Which series are you more excited for?

Briefly: Now I haven’t exactly watched this clip as I’m way behind on The Walking Dead (though AMC themselves did give me that terrible spoiler), but it’s probably something that I should get on seeing as the series returns for the remainder of its fifth season in just a few more days!

Here’s what we’re dealing with for the remainder of the season:

“After the tragic events of the mid-season finale–as well as losing the possibility of a cure in Washington, DC–Rick Grimes’ band of survivors find themselves on the road, surviving day to day and trying to hold on to their shredded humanity and dwindling hope.

 

Stripped of security and without a direction for the future, some of the group near their breaking point, some find themselves hardened and cold and some just try to grasp on to what little they have left.

 

Though they are still breathing, the line between Rick’s group and the dead is starting to blur.

 

Could there be anything at this point that brings them back to life?“

Take a look at the clip below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to Sunday!

Briefly: Now I haven’t exactly watched this trailer as I’m way behind on The Walking Dead (though AMC themselves did give me that terrible spoiler), but it’s probably something that I should get on seeing as the series returns for the remainder of its fifth season in just a few more weeks.

It’s a short new teaser, but it’s probably exciting as hell seeing as we’re getting very close to the show coming back. Take a look below, and let us know what you think!

Briefly: Now I haven’t exactly watched this trailer as I’m way behind on The Walking Dead (hard to believe, I know), but it’s probably something that I should get on seeing as the series returns for the remainder of its fifth season in just under a month.

The trailer clocks in at just over a minute long. Check it out below, and be sure to let us know what you think! The Walking Dead returns on February 8th.

Briefly: Today at New York Comic-Con, AMC debuted the first four minutes of Sunday’s The Walking Dead season premiere. It’s… well, I don’t want to spoil things, but it’s pretty intense.

Take a look at the footage below, and rest easy, because there’s a lot more The Walking Dead coming.

Briefly: The fifth season of The Walking Dead won’t even premiere for another few days, but AMC has already (unsurprisingly) confirmed the insanely-popular drama for a sixth season.

The series has been the #1 show on television among adults 18-49 for the last two years, and most highly-rated show in cable television history, so it’s almost more surprising that they haven’t already extended its run further. Though there is that spinoff also in the works.

Here’s what AMC had to say:

“We could not be more excited for October 12th as we share new episodes of ‘The Walking Dead’ with fans around the globe,” said AMC President Charlie Collier. “In advance of Sunday’s season five premiere, AMC proudly confirms a sixth season order of this extraordinary series. Thank you to Robert Kirkman, Scott Gimple, the terrific executive producers, and the entire team who brings this compelling world and these rich characters to life. There’s plenty more Dead ahead thanks to their impressive, collective effort.”

 

Social media activity and interest around “The Walking Dead” is up significantly from the same period a year ago. For several weeks leading up to the season five premiere, the show has been #1 in digital engagement of all returning fall cable series, as measured by the ListenFirst Digital Audience Rating. The show’s social media following and fan engagement are at an all-time high with more than 30 million Facebook fans and 2.7 million Twitter followers, while video views of scenes and trailers for the upcoming season are well outpacing last year’s results.

 

For season six, Scott M. Gimple will return as the series’ showrunner and executive producer along with executive producers Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, Greg Nicotero and Tom Luse. AMC also recently announced that it has ordered a pilot for a potential companion series to “The Walking Dead,” based on a new story and new characters from Robert Kirkman.

What do you hope to see in season five? Let alone season six!

TheWalkingDead001

Briefly: It feels like it’s been forever, but we’re finally less than two week away from The Walking Dead‘s anticipated return.

Following a myriad of trailers and TV spots, AMC has just debuted a 2.5 minute featurette digging into the new season. We hear from the shows stars and producers, and they all make it pretty clear that we’re returning to a very different group of survivors than we left.

You can take a look at the featurette below, and be sure to let us know what you hope to see in the upcoming episodes.

Briefly: We’re finally, finally, finally just a few weeks away from The Walking Dead‘s anticipated fifth season premiere, and AMC has just launched a new 30-second trailer for the upcoming episodes.

If the fourth season finale wasn’t indication enough, Rick is done being a nice guy. As he states in this trailer “It’s not over until they’re all dead”… meaning that we are going to see a lot of Terminus locals get the axe. And I can’t wait. Those guys are dicks.

Take a look at the preview below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to The Walking Dead‘s premiere on October 12th.

Briefly: Following the full trailer that premiered all the way back at SDCC (it seems like so long ago), and the newer trailer from a few weeks back, AMC has just debuted yet another promo for the series’ anticipated return.

It’s a lot of slow-motion shooting and a little bit of voiceover, just like a lot of the promos we’ve been seeing so far… but we’re totally okay with that.

It’s certainly set to be a crazy season, and I really can’t wait to see more. Take a look at the spot below, and let us know what you think! The Walking Dead returns on October 12th!

Briefly: Following the full trailer that premiered all the way back at SDCC (it seems like so long ago), and the new poster from last week, AMC has debuted a new one-minute trailer for the series’ anticipated return.

It’s an awesome look at the upcoming season, and it definitely makes me fear for some of our survivors lives. In addition, I don’t think we’ve ever, ever seen Rick so ready to kill.

It’s certainly set to be a crazy season, and I really can’t wait to see more. Take a look at the spot below, and let us know what you think! The Walking Dead returns on October 14th!

Briefly: Following the full trailer that premiered all the way back at SDCC (it seems like so long ago), and the new poster from a few days back, AMC has debuted a new TV spot for the series’ anticipated return.

It’s called ‘You’re not safe,’ and the 30-second spot is full of pain, guns, anger, and a huge explosion.

We’ve got less than two months of waiting left until The Walking Dead returns on October 12th, so take a look at the spot below, and let us know what you think!

Briefly: Following the full trailer that premiered all the way back at SDCC (it seems like so long ago), AMC has debuted a brand new poster… and the new tagline for The Walking Dead‘s upcoming fifth season.

“Hunt or be hunted” is what they’re going with this season, which pretty much signifies that we’re nowhere near finished with the cannibals of Terminus. I wonder if any of survivors will turn into people chow before the midseason finale.

In any case, we’ve got less than two months of waiting left until The Walking Dead returns on October 12th, so take a look at the image below, and let us know what you think!

Poster

Briefly: Following the full trailer that premiered all the way back at SDCC (it seems like so long ago), AMC has debuted a short new teaser for The Walking Dead‘s fifth season.

Clocking in at an extremely brief 15 seconds long (AMC is loving their short teasers lately) the video shows Tyreese in the midst of a  walker attack, and someone very quick (and probably not friendly) looks to be hiding in the same location.

We’ve got less than two months of waiting left until The Walking Dead returns on October 12th, so for now take a look at the teaser below, and let us know what you think!

Briefly: Following the full trailer that premiered all the way back at SDCC (it seems like so long ago), AMC has debuted a short new teaser for The Walking Dead‘s fifth season.

Clocking in at an extremely brief 10 seconds long (AMC is loving their short teasers lately) the teaser focusses on Rick talking about his family (and what he’ll do if it’s hurt), while Glenn and Daryl look as though they’re in a very tough situation.

We’ve got less than two months of waiting left until The Walking Dead returns on October 12th, so for now take a look at the teaser below, and let us know what you think!

Tease: Family: The Walking Dead: Season 5 PremiereClick here for more free videos

Briefly: I can’t believe that the second season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead is so close to concluding. It feels like just yesterday that I played through the first season’s first episode for the first time on my now-ancient PS3, instantly enthralled (and horrified) by the gravity and instantaneousness of the terrible, terrible choices that I had to make during the course of its five episodes.

Telltale has released a five-plus minute long trailer for the final episode (of this season, a third season was confirmed at Comic-Con), and it’s a tearjerker. I don’t wan’t to reveal too much, but the video is an incredible chronicling of Clementine’s journey so far, complete with footage of her past that we haven’t yet seen. Of course we’ve experienced most of this, but it’s strange seeing her change so much in just a few minutes time.

Take a look at the video below, and let us know what you’ve thought of the season so far. After the closing moments of last month’s episode, I’m itching to see what happens next (as long as they don’t kill her).

When will you be able to play? Here’s the info:

August 26th: PC/Mac via Steam, the Telltale Online Store and other digital distribution services; on the PlayStation Store in North America (SCEA) for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita
