The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – A New Frontier’ Available at Retail End of the Month
Today, Telltale shared the release date for the critically acclaimed The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – A New Frontier on a special season pass disc at retail, and announced the release window for the upcoming Episode 3: ‘Above the Law’. Beginning February 28th at North American retailers, and March 3rd at European retailers, The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – A New Frontier will be available for purchase on a special Season Pass Disc for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. The season pass disc includes the critically acclaimed two-part premiere episodes, and grants access to all subsequent episodes in the five episode season for download as they become available.
The two-part premiere of The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – A New Frontier launched to widespread critical acclaim. In our review of the first 2 episodes we said: “Detractors of Telltale’s post Walking Dead style aren’t likely to be convinced by A New Frontier. The experience is ultimately just as linear as before, and there isn’t any core-gameplay to speak of, outside of walking and talking to people. A New Frontier, despite its name, really is sticking with what’s worked before, and it’s not made to convert. It’s made to continue, and that’s what it does superbly. As someone that hasn’t been exposed to Telltale’s strengths in years… it’s good to be back. Now where the hell is Wolf Among Us Season Two!?”

In further news, the much-anticipated Episode 3: ‘Above the Law’ is set to debut later next month. Look for more details on the episode in the coming weeks.
When family is all you have left… how far will you go to protect it? Years after society was ripped apart by undead hands, pockets of civilization emerge from the chaos. But at what cost? Can the living be trusted on this new frontier? As Javier, a young man determined to protect his family, you meet a young girl who has experienced her own unimaginable loss. Her name is Clementine, and your fates are bound together in a story where every choice you make could be your last.
The Walking Dead: A New Frontier acts as both a new beginning for players fresh to the series and unfamiliar with Clementine, as well as a continuation for players who have experienced Seasons One and Two. Players new to the series are able to start a story that is tailored to this new beginning. Players continuing onward from prior seasons have multiple options for quickly configuring their tailored backstory, or importing past save files from various platforms.
