09/01/2016 - Telltale Walking Dead Returns This November'The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - A New Frontier' Premieres This
November
Third Full Season in Critically-Acclaimed Series Premieres This November Fellow Survivors,
During our panel at PAX West today, Telltale took the stage to deliver some additional details surrounding the highly-anticipated
third season of The Walking Dead.
Since its unveiling at E3 in June, the title
and release window for the next season of the series have been tightly under wraps. Today, we can announce that 'The
Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - A New Frontier' will be premiering this November on consoles, PC/Mac,
and mobile platforms. The series will also be available for purchase on a special 'Season Pass Disc' for consoles, which will
include the premiere episode for the third season, as well as access to all subsequent episodes in the five episode season
for download as they become available.
"This third new season will serve as both a continuation of what's
come before in our story, as well as an all-new beginning set nearly four years after the outbreak events of Season One,"
said Kevin Bruner, Co-Founder and CEO of Telltale Games. "As a harrowing and horrific drama, 'A New Frontier'
will explore beyond what it means to survive in a world ravaged by the undead, and will see our characters confronting
the new rules of order and justice in a land being brutally reclaimed and rediscovered by what's left of humanity itself."
Players will take control of series newcomer Javier, a man struggling to keep his family together in the new world,
while also playing as Clementine, now a teenage survivor holding secrets of her past while fighting to protect family of her
own.
"When we began this series, we explored what it meant to protect a character like Clementine at all
costs," said Kevin Boyle, Executive Producer on the series. "Years later, meeting her for the
first time, Javier will begin to unravel the mystery of who Clementine has become, as her story intersects with his - both
of them still driven by the things they value most long after society's collapse."
'The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - A New Frontier' will
be premiering this November. For more news and information on the third season, stay tuned to telltale.com, follow @telltalegames on twitter, and on follow
