Walking Dead Episode 3: 'As Soon as Next Week'

If you're anxious to get into The Walking Dead: The Game -- Episode 3: Long Road Ahead, you're not alone. While we let you know the other week that developer Telltale Games was ready to submit the game for approval, we didn't know a release date. We still don't, but Telltale says it could be any day now.

"Episode Three: Long Road Ahead is in submission with our first party partners and we are anxiously awaiting a release date to be confirmed," a Telltale rep said. "We anticipate that this could be as soon as next week, and as soon as we have a confirmation on all platforms, we’ll be letting everyone know as soon as it happens."

So, keep your eyes here on IGN for the final news on the final release date. Until then, check out the new episode of Telltale's Playing Dead, which includes an introduction to Christa and Omid, two new characters coming in Episode 3. They pop up around the 7-minute 30-second mark in the video.

The Walking Dead Episode Two iOS Dated

Telltale Games announced today that The Walking Dead: The Game - Episode Two: Starved for Help will hit the App Store next week. Gamers will be able to grab the episode for $4.99 as an In-App Purchase within The Walking Dead: The Game. Episodes 2-5 are also available in a single package for a discounted $14.99.

The second episode of the studio’s zombie mega-hit debuted on consoles and PC to significant critical acclaim in late June. IGN awarded the title an 8.5  / 10 Editor’s Choice distinction, praising the game’s impressive storytelling and ability to force heavy moral choices onto players.

The Walking Dead: The Game is compatible with iPad 2 and iPhone 4 devices and newer. Players seamlessly control the action via the touch screen, replacing mouse clicks or controller inputs with simple touch-screen taps.

Telltale hasn’t provided a specific release date, but a launch on Thursday, August 30 seems a safe bet given the history of previous major App Store releases.
