Based on a popular comic book which also has a TV series going along with it, this offering will be outed in an periodic manner, with five monthly episodes set to begin coming out this April.
The Walking Dead is set in the world of Robert Kirkman’s comic book series, and has Lee Everett, a convicted criminal being given a chance of redemption in a world devastated by the undead.

We hope that fans will like what they see and be excited by the chance to join the cast of the game; we promise they’ll die horribly!” explained Dan Connors, Telltale co-founder and CEO.
