The third season of The Walking Dead was formally announced at E3 earlier this year, but we've heard nothing of the game since then. However, during Telltale's panel at PAX West earlier today, the developer revealed that the third season will be titled "A New Frontier", and shared some details on what to expect in it.
You'll take control of two characters throughout the season, the returning Clementine and a newcomer named Javier. Kevin Boyle, executive producer, said: "Years later, meeting her for the first time, Javier will begin to unravel the mystery of who Clementine has become, as her story intersects with his -- both of them still driven by the things they value most long after society's collapse."
This third season also operates as both a sequel to the previous titles and a new beginning for a different set of characters four years after the events of Season One. Kevin Bruner, CEO of Telltale Games, said: "As a harrowing and horrific drama, 'A New Frontier' will explore beyond what it means to survive in a world ravaged by the undead, and will see our characters confronting the new rules of order and justice in a land being brutally reclaimed and rediscovered by what's left of humanity itself."
The first episode of A New Frontier is scheduled to release in November, with five episodes planned.
Are you looking forward to returning to the world of the undead? Let us know if new boy Javier could possibly hold a candle to the classic Lee in the comments below.

I am really looking forward to this actually. I'm one of the few people who thought Season Two was vastly superior to Season One, and I love the direction they're taking Clem as a character.
Can't wait to see where this goes.
I'm looking forward to it but not sure about throwing in another playable character. We will see I guess.
Just beat Season 1 today. I liked it but I think the Wolf game is somewhat better. May start Season 2 that I have from plus. I will keep an eye for Season 3.
@get2sammyb
Completely agree with you. Season 2 was better than Season 1 and I'm super excited for Season 3!
Me too, I never understand why people think 2 is crap. Just bought michonne the other day so should start/finish that soon.
I'd prefer a new Tales From The Borderlands.
Can we have the last Minecraft game please telltale?
@get2sammyb I'm with you man. I really loved Season 2 as well. Not sure why it didn't get the same love.
The one thing I am a bit concerned about is that a few people have moved on from TellTale who were responsible for TWD... and TellTale's engine. Update that sh*t already!
But those quibbles aside, I'm glad we get to play as Clem again.
@get2sammyb seems like there are more people than you thought who liked season two better and that includes me too.Loved the first season but season two was far better!Can season three improve upon both..?
@Wazeddie22 lol yeah, I thought I was the only one. Glad to hear there are lots of other Season Two fans!
@get2sammyb I enjoyed the first season more because of the small puzzles/problem solving that was lacking from the 2nd season. Both were good and this will be a day one buy.
I loved season 1 and 2, I played them both on vita, really hope season 3 gets a vita release, but I don't think it will.
Ain't nobody holding a candle to Lee.
It's a shame this game doesn't have cross-play or save features. Having played the first 2 season on PS3, I'm happy to replay both to bring my story to the PS4 but of course there's a chance that things will go change and I could end up with a different story to the one I started.
It'd be nice to have it cross other between the PS3/PS4, and also to the Vita as games like this are perfect for handheld.
@get2sammyb Please tell me this is also coming to PS3...
Just hoping this comes to 360 and that the story ends this series. I doubt they'll support the old consoles for much longer and I don't wanna do it all again on PS4.
