Telltale unveils E3 Trailer and August 14 launch date for The Walking Dead’s Final Season
The end is nigh! And that’s because Telltale Games has announced that The Walking Dead: The Final Season will be released for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One on August 14.
The Final Season will consist of four episodes, and the developer added that players who pre-order it on the PS4 or Xbox One will receive a free digital download of The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series Collection (which includes Season 1, Season 2, A New Frontier, and the Michonne spinoff). PC players who pre-order The Final Season on Steam, GOG, GamersGate, or the Humble Store will receive a 10% discount off the retail price, while Windows Store shoppers will receive a free download of Season 1.
In addition to a release date announcement, Telltale talked a bit about fans can expect from the game on their official site:
Clementine, now a fierce and capable survivor, has reached the final chapter in her journey. After years on the road facing threats both living and dead, a secluded school might finally be her chance for a home. But protecting it will mean sacrifice. Clem must build a life and become a leader while still watching over AJ, an orphaned boy and the closest thing to family she has left. In this gripping, emotional final season, you will define your relationships, fight the undead, and determine how Clementine’s story ends.
The Walking Dead: The Final Season will also feature a “new over-the-shoulder camera system, greater freedom to explore detailed environments, and scenes with unscripted combat” that the developer hopes will create “the most engaging The Walking Dead game yet.”
Telltale Games will also bring The Walking Dead: The Final Season to the E3 Expo next week, but for now, be sure to check out the E3 Trailer embedded above.

This week’s PlayStation Store update is like a reunion with old friends…
Things will really start to heat up this Friday, when Tekken 7 brings the story of the Mishima clan to an end on the PS4. The fighting game series that dabbled in storylines involving corporate-funded armies and sentient bears will finally resolve the mystery behind the Devil Gene and answer the question of who truly owns the Mishima Zaibatsu company.
But if you’re looking for something to download today, a trio of new games offer even more familiar faces. Three Fields launched Danger Zone for the PS4, a spiritual successor to the ridiculous crashes found in the Burnout series of racing games. Also available to download is Star Trek: Bridge Crew, a PlayStation VR-exclusive simulation of captaining your own Federation starship. Finally, Nihon Falcom will bring Ys Origin, a prequel to the popular RPG series, to the Vita.
Finally, Telltale’s The Walking Dead: A New Frontier comes to an end this week in Episode 5: From the Gallows.
