During a panel at PAX West, developer Telltale Games shared a couple of details about The Walking Dead: Season Three, as well as the release window and a new character.
The new season is going to follow series protagonist Clementine and will take place several years after Season Two. The story of The Walking Dead: Season Three will focus on Clementine and a new character, Javier, and both characters will be playable in the new season.
Kevin Boyle, Telltale Games’ executive producer, shared some information about the storyline during the panel:
“Javier will begin to solve the mystery of who Clementine has become, as her story crosses with his-both of them still driven by the things they care for the most long after society’s collapse.”
As anticipated, The Walking Dead: Season Three will follow the same episodic formula that the franchise and developer have become famous for. Gamers can get the title digitally, or they can go for a “Season Pass Disc” on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The disc is going to be filled with the first episode, and players will have to download subsequent episodes when they release.
Since debuting the first season of The Walking Dead in 2012, Telltale Games has become on of the most renowned and respected developers in the industry. The studio made a number of titles before The Walking Dead, including Jurassic Park: The Game and Back to the Future: The Game, but none of them got the same attention that The Walking Dead did. Granted, Telltale Games has also gained some fame for its Sam & Max Games, but it didn’t take off until The Walking Dead.
As of then, it seems that nothing can stop the developer from getting some of the most iconic stories and characters of today. Game of Thrones, Minecraft: Story Mode, and Batman: The Telltale Series have all received positive results and expanded the developer’s influence.
The Walking Dead: Season Three is scheduled to release in November on mobile, Mac, PC, PlayStation 3 and 4, and Xbox one and 360.
