Unlike the live TV show, it won't be another adaptation of the comics but rather some original story taking place in the same fictional universe.
“Collaborating with Telltale on The Walking Dead continues to be a fantastic process. They understand the world and the characters that I created and what it takes to make a game out of them. What’s really exciting is that they’re telling a new story with new characters, so you’ll get to see the same world Rick Grimes did, but now from a different point of view,” said Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead. “Playing Dead is going to be an awesome way for fans to learn about the game and how it was made. It makes sense that Telltale are talking to people in this unique way because The Walking Dead is going to be a unique zombie game.”
With ex-LucasArt Dave Grossman out of Telltale now, it's Jake Rodkin and Sean Vanaman that will produce this new upcoming series.
Here's some pics:
The game is already looking like it will sport the best graphics of all Telltale productions so far. (though I still have a soft spot for Tales of Monkey Island mix of well done design and cartoon aesthetics)
Though I'm already fearing Telltale's typical sloppy animations from that first pic above. (where their problems really are, and not the graphics/visual)
It will be out on almost all systems in mid-2012.
(PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Max and Wii)
