There’s always a lot going on at E3, and invariably, some games from smaller publishers end up falling through the cracks somewhat. That’s been the case for Telltale’s The Walking Dead: Season 3, which hasn’t got as much attention as you might expect considering how popular and critically acclaimed the games are. Thankfully, a new trailer (above) is here to rectify that.
The first thing you’ll probably notice is this season of The Walking Dead looks a lot better. Telltale has upgraded to a new engine (they’re also using it for their Batman game) which allows for much more detailed and expressive characters. The second thing you’ll notice is that Clementine has definitely done some growing up. According to Robert Kirkman, a fairly decent amount of time has passed between Seasons 2 and 3.
“The way that the timeline works, Season 3 will actually be getting pretty close to where we are in the comics currently. There’s a lot of really cool, really exciting things coming that I don’t think people will expect. We’ll be checking in on Clementine again, but also, similar to the Michonne series, I think there will probably be some more comic book elements that’ll be working in, in some interesting ways. I don’t wanna reveal too much, but it will definitely go hand-in-hand with the comic a little bit more than Season 2 did.”
I really haven’t had an issue with Telltale’s The Walking Dead games doing their own thing, but it will be interesting to see some crossover now that characters like Clementine are almost as established as anybody in the comics. There should be some fun personality clashes.
The Walking Dead: Season 3 begins sometime this fall.
