The Walking Dead: Season Three is in development – but it's not due out for some time. As such, it sounds like developer Telltale Games has got something a little extra in mind, which will hopefully tide you over until the new episodes arrive. "[Season Three] is not necessarily something that you can expect to see super, super soon," said PR chief Job J Stauffer at an SXSW panel. "But I think that you can maybe perhaps expect to see The Walking Dead again sooner."
Fans of the franchise will obviously recall the excellent 400 Days add-on, which bridged the gap between Season One and Season Two by introducing a bunch of new characters. While a lot of these were consigned to cameos in the new instalments, the likes of Bonnie did go on to become major stars, and it was nice having the context of the optional expansion to draw upon as protagonist Clementine acquainted herself with the cast as well.
All we need now is some kind of cloud-based save transfer system, because we want to transition to the PlayStation 4 version, but all of our decisions are saved on the PlayStation 3. Sort it out, Telltale – seriously.

@get2sammyb just begin the second season from zero on the PS4, the decisions don't really matter in any Telltale game, what matters is the narrative.
@ferrers405 I agree with you, but there's something niggling in the back of my mind that says: "I want all my choices to carry across." I mean, at the end of the day, that illusion of choice is the whole point of the series.
@get2sammyb I'm not sure they're going to do it that way, unfortunately. I think that's why they priced the telltale bundle so low a while back (at least in the us) It was basically - pay full price for game of thrones and tales from the borderlands and get the other three seasons (walking dead/wolf among us) for free.
They could always do something like dragon age I suppose. And you never know, because rock band figured out a way for purchases to carry over.
I wonder how season 3 will start with several different endings in 2 or will the choice not matter like usual
im still waiting for season 2 for vita. stumbling with a cursor for precise split second aiming/choices just doesnt work for me. i really prefer to just instantly point with the touch screen. having said that, i loved season 1 so hurry up season 2 for vita.
@Gmork___ Season 2 has been available for Vita for months now . Will be getting Season 3 on Vita as well...because of the touchscreen.
It's probably going to be some short stories as mentioned in the article.
Also I kind of felt Season 2 was a let down compared to Season 1, because there was no "discovery" of anything by the characters, and Clementine basically always knows what's what.
