The first episode of The Walking Dead became available to download and play in late April. Episode 1 is available immediately upon purchasing the full season with the remaining episodes being delivered monthly thereafter. Due to the late release of the game for iOS, episode 2 will likely be released in two to three weeks.

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