TellTale Games Reveal The Walking Dead: Michonne
At The Game Awards, TellTale Games revealed numerous titles, one of which was a spinoff to their incredibly popular Walking Dead series. Titled, The Walking Dead: Michonne, the game will focus on the fan-favorite character from the comics and TV show. The game itself will apparently be focused more on the comics world than the TV show.
“Stepping into the lead role of Michonne, award-winning actress Samira Wiley (Orange is the New Black) will portray the iconic character from the comic book series haunted by her past and coping with unimaginable loss and regret. The story explores her untold journey during the time between issues #126 and #139. Through this three-episode Telltale Games series, players will discover what took Michonne away from Rick, Ezekiel, and the rest of her trusted group… and what brought her back.”
“We’ve been hard at work on this very special exploration of The Walking Dead universe that will further bridge together our game series with the canon of Robert Kirkman’s comic though one of its most complex characters struggling to maintain her own humanity,” said Kevin Bruner, Co-Founder and CEO of Telltale Games. “Deeply haunted by the decisions of her past, putting players in the role of a character like Michonne to navigate the broken world around her is an experience that feels uniquely Telltale, and something we simply cannot wait for The Walking Dead fans to play.”
The three-episode event will begin in February 2016. The reveal trailer is below!
