E3 2015: Walking Dead's Badass Female Getting New Telltale Game

Telltale Games has announced its next installment in The Walking Dead adventure franchise. Called The Walking Dead: Michonne, it is a three-part mini-series that centers around the character named Michonne.

This mini-series focuses on the story of Michonne which unfolded during The Walking Dead comic. According to a blog post on the Telltale website, the game "stars the iconic character from the comic book series haunted by her past and coping with unimaginable loss and regret."

The developer states that it chose Michonne because of her character traits and a desire to bring the comic book closer to the game. Creator Robert Kirkman explains, "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."

This is the latest entry in a series that started in 2012. Since then, two series and one other miniseries have launched. They have been very popular, and the first season won several Game of the Year awards from different outlets.

The Walking Dead: Michonne launches this fall for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and mobile devices. Importantly, the developer notes that you'll need to own at least the first episode of The Walking Dead: Season 2 to be able to play this mini-series.
