"The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - A New Frontier" Launch Trailer Is Here

Telltale's The Walking Dead is getting a new season, and it's bringing Clementine back for another run.

The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - A New Frontier follows the story of Javier, a young man determined to protect his family, who ends up meeting Clementine one day after going through some unspecified but emotional set of gruesome events. Together, they both run into a shady group called "New Frontier" who, according to Clementine, cannot be trusted. A fan-favourite character from the TV show and comics, Jesus, also makes an appearance -- voiced by Brandon Keener, best known as Garrus Vakarian from Mass Effect -- and is shown kicking some undead rotting arse in a tunnel along with his signature overcoat.

The new season will follow the same five episodes format we've all grown accustomed to, but with a twist: the special two-part "premiere" on 20th December will consist of two episodes debuting on the same day: "Episode One: 'Ties That Bind' Part I" & "Episode Two: 'Ties That Bind' Part II". Pre-ordering through Telltale's website will net you special bonus on PS4 and Steam -- PlayStation 4 digital pre-orders get The Walking Dead: Season Two and The Walking Dead: Michonne for free; while Steam users get a 10% discount on New Frontier.

The new game can be played by newcomers unfamiliar with the series, but obviously will pack a bigger punch to those who stuck through the past entries -- they will be able to once again import their past save files for a unique tailored experience, and rejoice on the fact the new game maintains the original vibe, utilising the same Borderlands-esque cartoon style and even bringing back Clementine's original voice actress, Melissa Hutchison. By what the trailer shows, you can expect more hungry undead people, more shady living people, and a whole bunch of sad choices.

The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - A New Frontier launches across PS4, Xbox One, and PC -- as well as iOS and Android -- on 20th December 2016.
