Telltale Games has announced a brand new adventure title that will be based on the popular zombie slaying franchise The Walking Dead. The new game is a 3 episode mini-series called The Walking Dead Michonne which is based on one of the most popular characters or the books and of course the show.
The Walking Dead: Michonne – A Telltale Games Mini-Series stars the iconic character from the comic book series haunted by her past and coping with unimaginable loss and regret. The story explores her untold journey during the time between issues #126 and #139. Through this Telltale Games mini-series of 3 episodes, players will discover what took Michonne away from Rick, Ezekiel, and the rest of her trusted group… and what brought her back.
The game will release this fall on PC/Mac from the Telltale Online Store, Steam, and other digital distribution services, PSN for PS3 and PS4 as well as the Xbox Games Store for Xbox One and Xbox 360 and on the app store for any compatible iOS devices. Last but not least, Android-based users will get it via Google Play and the Amazon App Store.
“In many ways, Michonne herself is a reflection of the world of The Walking Dead. She is brutal and cold on the outside, but deep beneath what is broken, she remains hopeful, trying to claw her way out of the darkness that surrounds her,”said Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead. “In our effort to bring the world of the comic and the world of the Telltale series closer together, there is no greater character than Michonne to help bridge that gap.”
You will need to have the first episode of The Walking Dead: Season Two in order to play The Walking Dead: Michonne. Further information about how to access the mini-series will be made available closer to the premiere says Telltale.
“Michonne’s complexity and range make her an ideal lead for the compelling interactive drama fans have come to expect from Telltale,” said Kevin Bruner, Co-Founder and CEO of Telltale Games. “With this mini-series, players will experience Michonne’s challenges first-hand, and the choices they make will shape her journey. We’re incredibly honored by Robert for the opportunity to share this untold story in The Walking Dead universe.”
