After years of begging and whining, Telltale finally appears to be stepping things up on the episodic games front. The last series of The Walking Dead was little more than a wet fart, but The Final Season promises to bring an end to Clementine’s story – and it’s looking like a real stride forward in virtually every department.
While it maintains its iconic comic book art style, the presentation is vastly improved across the board, with facial animations being a particular highlight. The gameplay will also apparently be sharper, with new combat and exploration elements added. We’re just crossing our fingers for some higher stakes in the story department, because the previous five episodes were a non-event.

It'll be hard for this season to not be an improvement over 3. Man that one was rough.
@gbanas92 I probably shouldn't say anything because of the embargo but I just started this and they do a big recap cut-scene at the beginning. The thing that made me laugh is that they spend literally 15 seconds at most talking about the previous season.
@get2sammyb Cited for breach of embargo. Mr. Barker, please be advised that Telltale Games will no longer be sending you review copies of The Walking Dead after this one...
Oh wait, this is the final one?
As you were.
I'm looking forward to it but waiting for all episodes to be out.
@get2sammyb Sounds like season 3's gonna be quite pivotal! Yikes...
I love playing telltale games on the go. So i wait for the switch release. Hope they release season 3 on the switch too. Played the first two on the ps vita.
I play the big action games on the ps4 😀
@brendon987 I agree. I wish Telltale still ported their games to Vita. I don’t really think their recent releases are any more technologically demanding than TWD 1 & 2 or The Wolf Among Us, so I’m sure it could be done.
(I don’t have a Switch)
Great trailer, makes me want to play the series finally!
I'm pretty much just here to concur that season three was rubbish. It was like watching one of those series' of The X Files after David Duchovny left but he'd turn up every now and again for five minutes just to remind you of what you were missing.
Now that I’ve watched the trailer ...
Uh, spoiler alert for the first season, dang.
But I do like how they are flashing back to the pivotal part of season 1.
And, although season 3 didn’t really focus on Clementine that much, I found it pretty enjoyable. I liked Javier.
Really excited for this. That said, I kinda wanna go back through all of the episodes before playing this so might wait til it's all out or at least close to the final episode. I imagine it'll be all wrapped up by December though so hopefully not too long.
Wait... That voice... Is that David Hayter?
@get2sammyb i see other websites gave this solid score : 8 to 9. that's good to know. i am huge fan of The Walking Dead games and tv show too
@porhawj2016 Awesome! It's a return to form.
