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

The Walking Dead Video Game is an episodic video game that takes place within Robert Kirkman's, The Walking Dead graphic novel series. The game was developed by Telltale Games and associated with Skybound Entertainment.

The game can be played on the following platforms:
 * PlayStation 3 (PlayStation Network)
 * Xbow 360 (Xbox Live Arcade)
 * Microsoft Windows
 * Mac OS X
 * iOS (iPhone, iPod and iPad)
 * PlayStation Vita

Telltale released "The Walking Dead" (Season 1) in five episodes 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), will be avaiable for the PlayStation Vita in Late August 2013.

Kirkman has said that, unlike typical zombie games such as Left 4 Dead, it focuses more on characterization 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.

Awards

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."
 * As of June 2013, The Walking Dead has won over 90 'Game of the Year' awards.
 * Upon announcement of the '400 Days' DLC, Telltale reported that over 17 million episodes have been purchased across all platforms worldwide.
 * Clementine's brother was one of the original ideas for the main character, but was eventually axed due to the pre-existing relationship between the two.
 * Inexplicably, all eight determinant characters (Chet, Danny St. John, Andrew St. John, Gary, Drew, Duck, the Stranger, and Lee), are all male, leaving no female's status available for the player to choose. (This is not counting Doug, Carley or Ben, as they all end up dead no matter what, whereas the eight above's status is completely up the player's actions.)
 * There was a pre-order contest for The Walking Dead 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 Episode 5 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 Episode 4 and then again in Episode 5 as a zombie.
 * In a interview with Gavin Hammon, the voice of Kenny, it was revealed that a scene was planned in which Lilly would appear with the RV again after her original departure, but it was never made.
 * 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.
 * Writer Gary Whitta said that fans "won't have to wait for season two to play more Walking Dead". This was hinting towards the "400 Days DLC".
 * Choices made in Season 1 will carry over into "400 Days" and the choices made in "400 Days" will resonate into Season 2.
