Telltale’s ‘The Walking Dead: Michonne’ Gets A New Trailer, Release Window!

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!
