Ooh, here's something to look forward to: The Walking Dead: A New Frontier will premiere on 20th December, with a gameplay reveal due at Geoff Keighley's The Game Awards next week. The third season in the exceedingly popular property is leading with a David Cage-esque marketing slogan: how far will you go to protect your family?
You can pre-order the new adventure now on the PlayStation Store, and you'll actually get The Walking Dead: Season Two and The Walking Dead: Michonne for your troubles. A retail version will deploy on 7th February, and will include the first episode on Blu-ray, as well as a download code to unlock the remaining four.
The box art is, frankly, glorious; we can't wait to see how Clem's character has grown after the events that transpired in Season Two. Are you still enjoying this story, or do you feel like it's run its course now? Steer clear of the Walkers in the comments section below.

Hype!
I do want it. I am somewhat curious if there will be some reference to the many endings of episode 2 and how they will handle it. I am guessing that since it will take place many years later the events in the end of 2 will have minimal consequences.
What happened to our Kenny?
Is this still coming to PS3? The PS3 version seems to only be confirmed for Australia at present...
first season was great.. second season wasn't as good, and quite frankly the fact that telltale didn't issue a fix for the rewind problem on PS4 was scandalous. :-/ not sure i want to continue from the ending i have for season 2, and i'm not replaying the entire game over again just to make a different decision on the last chapter. regardless, i'll probably wait until the full season is available before being tempted.
@leucocyte I preferred the second season, personally.
Can't wait for this...Sooo,I'll be waiting a year for the whole set to come out.I hate those season pass retail boxes,if it wasn't for the fact you only get one episode on the disc I'd always go for the retail. But that artwork is awesome.
@get2sammyb Just out of curiosity, why did you prefer the second season? I mean, I still liked it, but I thought the story of season 1 was crafted better, the choices had a lot more of an impact, and the puzzles were a lot better than in season 2.
Finally!! Been wanting for season three for awhile now.
@BranJ0 I much preferred the cast in Season Two personally. I didn't really enjoy the Lee and Clem arc — I thought it was a bit predictable. I liked what they did with Clem in the second season, though.
I know I'm in the minority on this one, but yeah...
@get2sammyb Oh no, that's fair enough! Season 2 was still excellent, I just thought that some parts were a bit iffy, such as episode 1 and 4, but the others were still brilliant. I'm hoping season 3 defies the downward trend in quality of recent telltale games such as game of thrones, minecraft and batman. Hopefully...
@Wazeddie22 Minecraft story mode had the first episode but the downloads for episodes 2-5 didn't need dl code, you clicked download in game. I lent it to my son who did the same on his PS4. So it will be interesting to see if this retail release follows the same protocol or go for the unfavourable download code option.
So stupid bring out a game on Bluray and you need DLC codes to unlock the rest. I guess people are stupid buying a half finished product. At least hitman does it right bring out the game as digital only and in the end a complete edition. Even Capcom did it with Resident Evil Revelations 2.
@get2sammyb I'm with you on the second season being better. Although the first season was a fresh experience, the second season actually had drastically different endings and the characters changed significantly.
Definitely hyped it's finally coming out although I'm quite tempted to wait for all episodes to come out.
Interested in the retail version as well although I'd quite like it completely on a disc rather than download codes. Hopefully they rectify that with it all being on disc when it's done.
Been looking forward to this for a while now, will get a retail copy once the series is fully completed.
Is it the good writers who did the walkdead S1 and wolf among us or the trash B-team who did the walking dead second season this time?
@themcnoisy oh didant realize that,I thought you had a code to d/l season pass with the first episode.If that's the case that's not so bad.Too be honest though I don't understand why they don't wait for all episodes to be available for the retail version.
