Telltale’s New Walking Dead Game To Feature Michonne

At today’s Electronics Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, California, an announcement was made by Telltale Games about their next installment in the game series based on The Walking Dead.

Like many others, I anticipated their announcement to be for a short game that introduces some of the characters from Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead third season.  Instead, we got something much more surprising.  The announcement was for a game called The Walking Dead: Michonne – A Telltale Games Mini-Series.

Robert Kirkman and Telltale’s Kevin Bruner explained why they chose Michonne for the mini-series by Telltale games.  Here is what they said according to TelltaleGames.com:

"“In many ways, Michonne herself is a reflection of the world of The Walking Dead. She is brutal and cold on the outside, but deep beneath what is broken, she remains hopeful, trying to claw her way out of the darkness that surrounds her,” said Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead. “In our effort to bring the world of the comic and the world of the Telltale series closer together, there is no greater character than Michonne to help bridge that gap.”"

Fans of The Walking Dead have grown to love Michonne.  While we know the basics of who she is and why she acts like she does, there is still a lot to learn about how she survived on her own after the events with her lover and family.

While the Telltale Games series has introduced some of the characters from the comics and television show including Hershel Greene and Glenn Rhee, this is the first time that a character who is already established in The Walking Dead’s universe will be the main character in the game.

"“Michonne’s complexity and range make her an ideal lead for the compelling interactive drama fans have come to expect from Telltale,” said Kevin Bruner, Co-Founder and CEO of Telltale Games. “With this mini-series, players will experience Michonne’s challenges first-hand, and the choices they make will shape her journey. We’re incredibly honored by Robert for the opportunity to share this untold story in The Walking Dead universe.”"

The Walking Dead: Michonne – A Telltale Games Mini-Series is scheduled to be available this fall on PC/Mac, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, and compatible iOS and Android-based devices.  Be sure to stay tuned to us here at Undead Walking for more information on this game as it becomes available.
