Tag: The Walking Dead: Michonne

Briefly: I feel as though it was just yesterday that Telltale Games launched the first episode of its revered The Walking Dead: Michonne  miniseries, and already the tale will conclude next with with the release of the title’s third and final episode, “What We Deserve”.

In the episode, “feeling the weight of choices both recent and long ago, Michonne tries to protect an innocent family… but Norma and the vengeful Monroe crew are closing in. As reality shatters and the ghosts of the daughters she abandoned demand to be heard, your choices will determine who lives, who dies, and what redemption really means in a world gone to hell.”

As much as I don’t want Michonne to end, the sooner it does, the sooner Telltale can hopefully) spill the beans on the next chapter of The Walking Dead proper… I need to see what happens to my Clementine!

In any case, you can take a look at the trailer for “What We Deserve” below, and let us know what you hope to see in the episode! The Walking Dead: Michonne concludes on April 26th!

Briefly: It’s almost here!

After being teased for what seems like forever, earlier this month Telltale finally let us know when we’d be able to get our hands on the first episode of The Walking Dead: Michonne mini-series.

Last week, they showed off the game’s stunning opening 6 minutes.

Michonne will debut on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on tomorrow, with a release on iOS and Android devices on February 25th, so today the developer debuted the bad-ass launch trailer for this first episode.

The debut episode is called ‘In Too Deep’, and in it, “Michonne joins Pete and his crew on the sailing ship The Companion as they cruise the coast for survivors and supplies. When a desperate signal for help draws them to a scene of horrific massacre, Michonne and the crew are lead further to the floating survivors’ colony of Monroe, which may just be harboring the person responsible for the carnage.”

Take a look at the launch trailer below, and let us know just how excited you are to play!

Briefly: Last week, Telltale Games finally let us know just when we’ll be getting our dirty mitts on the first episode of their The Walking Dead: Michonne miniseries, and last night the company debuted the first six minutes of the anticipated title.

In the upcoming first episode, entitled ‘In Too Deep’, “Michonne joins Pete and his crew on the sailing ship The Companion as they cruise the coast for survivors and supplies. When a desperate signal for help draws them to a scene of horrific massacre, Michonne and the crew are lead further to the floating survivors’ colony of Monroe, which may just be harboring the person responsible for the carnage.”

The Walking Dead: Michonne will debut on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on February 23rd, with a release on iOS and Android devices on February 25th. The entire miniseries will cost a cool $14.99 US on all platforms.

Take a look at the game’s opening below, and be sure to let us know if you’ll be playing!

Briefly: A few weeks back, based of some cryptic tweets from a Telltale Games staffer, we anticipated that we’d be seeing the first episode of Telltale’s The Walking Dead: Michonne mini-series (which was first announced back at E3) very, very soon.

When the game was first announced, the company noted that the game would premiere this Fall. It looks like Telltale may be a little too busy with its current myriad of other titles, as a brief new trailer revealed at last night’s The Game Awards marked a February 2016 release window.

The company recently noted that they wouldn’t release any information about the third season of their main The Walking Dead title until Michonne had reached its conclusion, so it’s going to be some time until we find out what’s in store for Clementine and company.

Here’s what the Michonne mini-series is about:

Stepping into the lead role of Michonne, award-winning actress Samira Wiley (Orange is the New Black) will portray 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 three-episode Telltale Games series, players will discover what took Michonne away from Rick, Ezekiel, and the rest of her trusted group… and what brought her back.

Telltale co-founder Kevin Bruner noted that “We’ve been hard at work on this very special exploration of The Walking Dead universe that will further bridge together our game series with the canon of Robert Kirkman’s comic though one of its most complex characters struggling to maintain her own humanity. Deeply haunted by the decisions of her past, putting players in the role of a character like Michonne to navigate the broken world around her is an experience that feels uniquely Telltale, and something we simply cannot wait for The Walking Dead fans to play.”

I’m damned excited, but then again, I’m excited for everything that Telltale touches. Take a look at the trailer below, and be sure to let us know if you’re exited for this one!

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
