Telltale’s ‘The Walking Dead’ DLC Coming Soon, To Be Titled ‘400 Days’

by Derek Kraneveldt

The world of last year’s best game is about to expand.

Telltale’s 2012 adventure title, The Walking Dead, is one of the most heart-wrenching, addicting, and emotional experiences that the gaming world has ever offered. At the close of the game’s fifth and final chapter last November, Geekscape and the entire gaming world was dying for more from this universe.

A second season of the game was confirmed some time ago, as was the chance of some DLC for the first title. Based on a listing that has popped up on the Steam Database, we may not be waiting much longer for more content.

Little is known about the add-on or what it will entail, but it appears to be subtitled 400 Days. Telltale Games has also been tweeting small teasers that correspond to the leak, so they’re definitely ramping up to something.

Check out the teasers below, and let us know just how excited you are! We’ll be sure to give you more info as we discover it.

Telltale’s ‘The Wolf Among Us’ Gets Its First Screenshots!

by Derek Kraneveldt

What choices await us in Telltale’s The Wolf Among Us? If the game turns out anything like last year’s The Walking Dead, we’re in for a damn fine treat.

Announced earlier this year, The Wolf Among Us is Telltale’s adaptation of the popular DC/Vertigo series Fables. The first screenshots for the game have just been released, and they look mighty impressive.

Check out the screenshots below care of GameInformer, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the game! The first episode of The Wolf Among Us is set to release later this year!

Season Two Of Telltale’s ‘The Walking Dead’ Confirmed By Writer Gary Whitta!

by Derek Kraneveldt

It’s been some time since we’ve mentioned Telltale’s adaptation of The Walking Dead here on Geekscape. The first season of the game ended all the way back in November, and we’ve been waiting patiently for news of a second season ever since.

 

Today, we got that news… kind of. In an interview with IGN, Around Every Corner (Episode 4) writer Gary Whitta confirmed that, while a ways off, a second season is actively being developed at Telltale. Sure, it’s not plot, characters, or closure after that heartbreaking final episode, but knowing that we’ll get a second edition of the phenomenal title is news enough.

 

Fans may also be getting some new content before the game’s second season premieres (whenever that is). Whitta let this juicy tidbit slip during the same interview, stating “But, knowing that it’s a way off, and knowing that people are hungry for more Walking Dead…there may very well be more Walking Dead from Telltale before season two. We may have a little something extra for you between season one and two.”

 

Amazing. I’m going to start another playthrough immediately in anticipation.

 

Check out the full interview with Whitta below (largely about his new movie After Earth), and let us know just how excited you are!

 

Reminder: Telltale’s ‘The Walking Dead’ Getting Physical On December 11!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Telltale’s The Walking Dead is the BEST game that I played in 2012. I also play a lot of games, including all of the high profile titles you’d expect from most gamers. Not one of those titles stuck with me and affected me like this one did. Not one game this year even came close.

The Walking Dead is a downloadable episodic title, and after all of the praise that we’ve given it (check out our review of each chapter here, here, here, here, and here) there is only one acceptable reason for you to not have played it: you don’t know what the internet is. If you’re reading this however, that’s simply not possible, so you’re a terrible person.

It was announced in September that the game was getting a physical rendition, and in October an AWESOME collector’s edition was revealed for release on December 4th. That date has shifted back one week, but the contents are the same, and it’s fantastic:

-The Walking Dead game featuring all five episodes
-The Walking Dead: Compendium One (collects the first 48 issues of the source material, -featuring exclusive art by Charlie Adlard)
-Collector’s box featuring exclusive Charlie Adlard art

As we mentioned in October, this collector’s edition is pre-order only , and there are only a few days left to get that preorder in. The standard edition will be available everywhere, though Best Buy will have some exclusive art on their copies.

Buy the game. Just buy it. Buy two and give one to a friend. Telltale deserves it, and I want more people to experience this game.

Again, Telltale’s The Walking Dead will physically be in stores a week from tomorrow, December 11!

The BEST Version Of ‘The Walking Dead’ Ends Tomorrow, Here’s A Trailer!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Tomorrow is going to be both sad and glorious.

On one hand, after seven long, amazing, heartbreaking months, we’ll finally get a chance to witness how things conclude for Lee and the gang. On the other hand, my favourite game of 2012 is coming to a close, and I can only imagine that it’s not going to be a happy ending.

Telltale Games has crafted one of the finest adventure titles that I’ve ever played, and if the past few months have been any indication, I can’t recommend it enough. I can’t think of a game that deserves all the praise its been getting more than this one.

Check out the trailer below and share your excitement! It’s going to be tough getting through work tomorrow know that this is waiting for me at home.

Telltale’s ‘The Walking Dead’ Adventure To Conclude Next Tuesday!

by Derek Kraneveldt

You know how much Geekscape loves Telltale’s The Walking Dead. Jonathan has stated over and over that their episodic adventure is his favourite iteration of the series, and I’ve gone even further than that to say the Telltale’s The Walking Dead is my favourite piece of zombie fiction, period.

It also happens to be my favourite game of the year. If you’re still not playing it despite all of our countless recommendations, you don’t deserve to!

I’m both ecstatic and sad to learn that the final chapter of this amazing, memorable adventure is set to hit in just under a week. Next Tuesday, no matter what platform you happen to be on (including iOS!), you’ll be able to download and play through the final few hours of this incredible tale.

Telltale has assured us that we’ll be getting another season of the adventure, but with how things tend to go for this group of survivors, I can fairly confidently say that the story probably won’t be related. Too bad, as Telltale has crafted some of the best characters that The Walking Dead has ever seen.

Shit went absolutely crazy in the closing moments of the penultimate Around Every Corner. I swear that if anything happens to Clementine, there’ll be hell to pay. You can read our reviews of past episodes here, here, here, and here. As I’ve mentioned before, we’re not on Telltale’s payroll, the game is simply that good!

Are you excited? Let us know what you’ve thought of the game so far!

Telltale’s ‘The Walking Dead’ Game Gets A Badass Collector’s Edition!

by Derek Kraneveldt

I’m sure I don’t need to give Telltale’s version of The Walking Dead any introduction: we post about it so much you’d think we were on Telltale’s payroll (we’re not). The game is simply an incredible experience, and at this point in 2012, is my game of the year.

The Walking Dead is of course an episodic, downloadable title. Downloadable doesn’t work for everyone though. Maybe you’re afraid of online purchases (what year is it again?), or maybe you just want a physical disc that you can carry with you through the apocalypse. In any case, Telltale’s got you covered.

We reported back in September that the game was set to get a physical rendition, and today IGN made that fact even cooler. The Walking Dead will get a great looking collector’s edition, set to launch on December 4th. The package will include the following:

-The Walking Dead game featuring all five episodes
-The Walking Dead: Compendium One (collects the first 48 issues of the source material, -featuring exclusive art by Charlie Adlard)
-Collector’s box featuring exclusive Charlie Adlard art

This edition will be exclusive to GameStop, and Telltale noted that it will be in extremely limited quantities. It’s also pre-order only, so you won’t see it on the shelves after the fact. The game will also get a standard edition for a cool $29.99.

If you haven’t yet played the game, and were planning to wait for the physical edition, you should head to GameStop and get your name down for this bundle. Also, feel free to check out our reviews for the already released episodes (though not until you’ve played the game)! You can find them here, here, here, and here.

What do you think of the game? Planning on picking up the physical edition?

Walking Dead Episode 3 Gets A Trailer! Update: Dates!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Update: Telltale revealed today that the game will hit PSN today (!), and XBLA, Mac, and PC tomorrow. No word yet on the iPad edition. Looks like they made their deadline!

The Walking Dead game is amazing. If you haven’t yet played it, you really should be. It’s on nearly every console (nearly, sorry Wii owners), as well as the iPad.

Whatever device you choose to play on, the game is a fantastic mix of adventure, action, and horror. At the end of each episode, I’m itching for more. Each of the chapters so far has been perfectly paced, with drastically different stories and events. It’s intense as hell and really gives you a feeling of dread for the future of these characters.

We still have no release date for episode 3 (subtitled Long Read Ahead). Telltale planned it for the end of August, which is nearly upon us, so hopefully we hear something in the next few days.

They have, however, just released a trailer for the upcoming chapter. Check it out below!

Side note: Episodes 1 and 2 are free right now for Playstation Plus members. If you’re a member and still haven’t played, you really have no excuse!
