Telltale's The Walking Dead: The First Season Releasing on Nintendo Switch Next Week

If you didn’t get a chance to navigate through the zombie-filled episodic adventure of Telltale Games’ classic The Walking Dead, then you’ve got another excuse not to give it a go.

The first series of Telltale’s The Walking Dead - bringing Robert Kirkman’s captivating comic book series to life - will be available to download on Nintendo Switch on August 28th, dubbed The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season.

In the introductory series, you take the role of Lee, that finds himself adopting a father figure role to young Clementine, who he stumbles across in the middle of an unravelling zombie outbreak. The engaging adventure game - that encourages you to ‘choose your path’ at critical points in the game - has won dozens of ‘Game of the Year’ awards, amassing a whopping 50 million episode downloads in the meantime.

All five main series’ episodes will be available in one package, as well as the add-on anthology 400 Days. Each episode features multiple performance and visual enhancements compared to previous releases; all of which are ports from The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series Collection that was released at the end of last year.

Not only will season one be available to download next week but the Season Two and A New Frontier will also be available to purchase before the end of the year.

Today’s news comes after episode one's release in The Walking Dead: The Final Season that was launched simultaneously on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, with the remaining episodes out before the end of 2018.

The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season will be available from the Nintendo eShop on August 28th in the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and most of Europe for $24.99.
