Considering that every single season has been released in disc form, it would've been a bit weird if the final season didn't have a physical copy to own. However, a post by the publisher's Twitter account confirmed the imminent release of the "season pass disc" of Telltale's The Walking Dead: The Final Season.
The PlayStation 4 physical release will land on 6th November, which is day and date with the release of the third episode. Those who purchase the disc will have the first two episodes already included to play, while you'll still need to download the latter two episodes as they release. It's a little odd to say the least; you'd expect the retail release to contain the entire season, and while you're still getting access to all the episodes, it seems strange that you have to download the last two.
Will you pick up the season pass disc? What do you think of this practice -- should all the content be on the disc when you buy it? Pick your dialogue options wisely in the comments below.

Nope. Why half-ass a physical copy? Was gonna buy until that....
Seems odd. Surely either just put the disc out now if it's just gonna be tied to a download anyway or wait til they're all ready and maybe release early next year.
I wouldn't be surprised to release another "collection" retail version next year that actually contains everything this time
ooooh - a disc shaped key...
This is such a nonsense. Publisher's really should stop this.
It's pointless. The people who want digital are getting the digital episodes, no worries there, but the people who prefer a physical copy are going to wait for the entire game to be on disc. Who is this for exactly? Why not wait till everything is done?
It's obvious that they want the physical version out around the time of the new series.
Nice move. What's next? Will they show us the 90% of a movie in a theatre and then ask us to download the remaning 10% at home?
They haven't done this before, right? What a strange move.
@Quintumply Minecraft Story Mode?
This is so stupid, just wait until you can put all the episodes on the disc. I won't be buying this, do it properly or don't do it at all.
Its a Edition ill pass on. 😑
@Quintumply They invented this garbage. 🤮
@andreoni79 I think a horror movie a few years ago pretty much did that, it just ended with "for more information visit our website". The Devil Inside I think it was called.
Didn't they do something similar with the first series of Minecraft Story Mode? I bought that for my son but I ended up playing it myself in the end as well, it was a right laugh.
EDIT - I'm guessing the description 'a right laugh' won't apply to the final season of Walking Dead
How bizzare, I'll steer well clear of this.
Every time they keep doing this and every time I don't buy it when I would have otherwise. I'm sure I'm not the only one who does that. They're doing themselves out of sales with this.
@Quintumply yes they have with the last walking dead season I can't remember the name frontier something I believe. Picked it up to purchase it upon looking at the case it says disc contains episodes 1,2,& 3 must download 4 and 5. I promptly put it back on the shelf. I can find other things to spend my hard earned money on.
Definitely won't be picking up, may as well just get the digital downloads. They really screwed up physical releases, seasons 1 and 2 of Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us and Back to the Future are all complete on disc, season pass discs I refuse to buy
Wow this is so stupid, they should have waited until all 5 episodes were released.
