The Walking Dead, also known as The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series, is an episodic video game that takes place within Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead comic series' universe.

The game is developed and published by Telltale Games, associated with Skybound Entertainment.

Telltale released the start of Season 1 at the beginning in spring of 2012.[1] The first episode of the adventure game debuted on April 24, 2012, for PC, Mac, and the PlayStation Network, on April 27, for Xbox Live Arcade, and on July 26th, for the iOS.

Due to the late release of the game for iOS, episode 2 became available for download on August 29th. The entire first season, (along with the "400 Days" DLC), was released on August 20, 2013, for the PlayStation Vita.

Kirkman has said that, unlike typical zombie games such as Left 4 Dead, it focuses more on characterization, character development, and emotion than action.

It is also the first game from Telltale to use the PlayStation Move. It is a point-and-click horror adventure, focusing on problem-solving rather than combat.[1]

Season 2 was confirmed to be planned by Telltale Games in July 2012. Later on, they pushed the release date towards Autumn 2013. The first episode of Season 2 was released on December 17th for PC/Mac via Steam and on PlayStation Network. It was released for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network Europe and iOS on December 18th. It was released for PlayStation Vita on April 22nd in North America and on April 23rd in Europe.

The 'Game of the Year' disc edition for Season 1 was released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on October 14, 2014. A retail disc version of Season 2 was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as well as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on October 21, 2014 in North America and on October 31, 2014 in Europe.

Season 3 was confirmed on July 26, 2014 during Skybound's panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2014. The first and second episodes was released on Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC on December 20, 2016. [2][3]

On June 15, 2015 during E3, Telltale Games announced a new mini-series titled The Walking Dead: Michonne, which follows Michonne's story during the events in the Comic Series. It was released as a stand-alone series on February 23, 2016. Telltale has announced that further information regarding Season 3 will be released following the completion of this series.

Trivia

  • Clementine's character was developed before Lee's because the designers wanted a "character that would act as a moral compass for the main character as he progressed through the game."[11]
    • It was given by Telltale that supposedly the game would involve Clementine and her brother, but due to the pre-existence relationship before the apocalypse her brother was cut off from the game, replaced by Lee Everett.
      • It was also given that Clementine almost got cut-off from the game. This was because Telltale was concerned that the players wouldn't care about her.
  • By January 2013, The Walking Dead: Season One won over 60 'Game of the Year' awards, and as of June 2013, it has won over 90.
  • Upon announcement of the "400 Days" DLC, Telltale reported that over 17 million episodes have been purchased across all platforms worldwide.
  • The Video Game has more protagonists and major antagonists than any other form of Walking Dead media, with a total of 10 protagonists (Lee, Clementine, Vince, Wyatt, Russell, Bonnie, Shel, Tavia, Michonne and Javier) thus far and 8 major antagonists/antagonist groups (the St. John Family, Save-Lots Bandits, Crawford Oberson, the Stranger, Nate, William Carver, the Russian Group and Norma).
  • There was a pre-order contest in 2012 for the Video Game in which four randomly selected players who pre-ordered the game were selected to be transformed into the game as zombies, while one player won the grand prize of being transformed into a character in the game, dying, and coming back as a zombie. The four zombies appear in "No Time Left" as Lee makes his way to the Marsh House and the grand prize winner was Brie Rosenholm, who the character Brie was based on. Brie appears in "Around Every Corner" and then again in "No Time Left" as a zombie.
  • Although it says: "Silence is a valid option", there are some points in the game that you are required to speak, or you will either respawn or nothing will happen until you do.
  • In this version of The Walking Dead, the outbreak began on July 20th, 2003.
