All things must end, and we’re getting pretty close to curtains o’clock for Telltale’s The Walking Dead game. Even before Telltale Games went through its infamous ‘majority studio closure’, this current crop of zombie-laden episodes had already been ominously dubbed The Walking Dead: The Final Season.
Luckily for fans – especially those who’ve been playing The Walking Dead game since its first decision-based episode dropped in 2012 – this is one of Telltale’s projects that will actually get completed. While the likes of Game Of Thrones: Season Two and Stranger Things were ditched midway through development, when Telltale hit all that trouble, Robert Kirkman’s Skybound Entertainment production company stepped in and finished off The Walking Dead video game series.
Two episodes of The Walking Dead: The Final Season are already available to play, leaving just two episodes in the pipeline before the walker-stuffed game is put to bed for good. Episode 3 is the penultimate one, entitled Broken Toys, and you can watch the brand new trailer right here…
As 18th episode overall of The Walking Dead game, and the second-to-last one in the run, Broken Toys will surely set the stage for a dramatic conclusion to this six-year yarn. We’re expecting the usual tough choices, a smattering of scary bits and those sometimes-a-bit-tricky quick-time events. We’re particularly worried that Clementine and AJ may not make it through to the end of the series, but we’ll just have to keep playing to find out if our suspicions are correct.
The Walking Dead: The Final Season episode 3, Broken Toys, will arrive on PC (via the Epic Games Store), Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One on January 15th 2019.
