10 Comments

A new trailer for season 7 of AMC's The Walking Dead made its debut at San Diego Comic-Con, along with confirmation that the post-zombie apocalypse drama will be making its return on October 23.

The trailer introduces King Ezekiel, a new character that fans of The Walking Dead's comic series will know well, who is played by actor Khary Payton.

However, the majority of the trailer is focused on Negan, the primary antagonist of season 6. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't reveal who he killed-off at the end of the last season. You'll have to wait a little longer for that question to be answered.

Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick Grimes in the show, confirmed at the Walking Dead panel that the reveal would be made in the season 7 premiere. "It’s a really shitty start to the season," for the characters, Lincoln said, as reported by Variety. Watch the trailer below.

In somewhat related news, season 3 of Telltale Games' The Walking Dead series will premiere this year. At Comic-Com it revealed some new images and details about the new season, confirming players will control two different characters and be introduced to a familiar face.

One of the playable characters is series protagonist Clementine, who has aged a few years since Season 2. You'll switch between her and new character Javier, but you won't play as both of them in the "same frame of time."

The Walking Dead Season 3 is set to premiere later this year on PS4, Xbox One ,PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Mac, and mobile devices.
