The Walking Dead (Video Game)


 * For the other video games in The Walking Dead universe, see Video Game.

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

The video game series was developed and published by Telltale Games, associated with Skybound Entertainment.

Telltale debuted the series with the release of Episode 1 of Season 1 at the beginning in spring of 2012. 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.

Season 1 along with the 400 Days DLC later saw a release on Nintendo Switch on August 28, 2018.

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.

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 were released on Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC on December 20, 2016.

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.

A new and updated version of the series titled The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series Collection, was released on December 5, 2017 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, both in retail and digital releases, with PC/Mac, iOS, and Android releases coming in 2018 as well as on additional platforms in the future. The collection contains the first three seasons, including the “400 Days” DLC and the three-part The Walking Dead: Michonne mini-series; all nineteen episodes are fully upgraded with visual enhancements.

Season 4 was confirmed on July 2017 during San Diego Comic-Con 2017. This season is to be the conclusion of Clementine's story. The first episode was released on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on August 14, 2018. Season 4 will also be the final game that Telltale will release, as the company announced studio closure in September 2018 following a massive layoff of its staff and the cancellation of most of their in-development titles. It was initially believed that after the second episode released, it was going to be the final episode released, and that the third and fourth episodes were cancelled, thus leaving Season 4 unfinished. However, on September 24, 2018, Telltale released a statement on social media saying "Multiple potential partners have stepped forward to express interest in helping to see The Final Season through to completion". While this got fans excited, most spoke that Telltale should seek ways into paying the developers of the game severance. On October 6, 2018, it was announced that Skybound Games, the gaming division of Skybound Entertainment, will be finishing the final two episodes of Season 4.

Spike Video Game Awards


This is a list of awards that The Walking Dead: Season One has been nominated for or received. Titles in bold have been officially given.

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."
 * 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 10 major antagonistic groups (the St. John Family, Save-Lots Bandits, Crawford Oberson, the Stranger, Nate, William Carver, the Russian Group, Norma, the New Frontier, and the Delta).
 * 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.
