The third season of The Walking Dead launched with two episodes on December 20, 2016. [24] The season plans to tie in all the possible endings from previous seasons without compromising the story to avoid pushing away new players to the series. In an interview with IGN, Kirkman stated that the third season would bring the video game closer to the comic book's time frame. It takes place a few years after the second season, and includes a somewhat older Clementine along with AJ, the infant she rescues at the end of Season 2 who is now a toddler. [25] [26] [27] Clementine is a playable character along with a new character, Javier. [28] A New Frontier uses the updated Telltale Tool, the same game engine Telltale used for Batman: The Telltale Series. a b Kim, Matt (April 6, 2018).

It’s no surprise that Telltale replicated the same formula until the very end.

Matulef, Jeffrey (June 12, 2016). "The Walking Dead Season 3 revealed". Eurogamer . Retrieved June 12, 2016. Walking Dead is closer to a TV show or book than a traditional zombie video game. Most of the walking is only done to go from one interaction point to another, and weapons are only available during action sequences. There is no healing system, if a walker bites you during an action sequence, you are dead and must restart from the beginning of the sequence. While not entirely a bad thing, this can become tedious overtime. Grunt, Christopher (June 15, 2015). "The Walking Dead: Michonne coming from Telltale Games". Polygon . Retrieved June 15, 2015.The story follows from A New Frontier with Clementine having rescued AJ from the McCarroll Ranch, with an ellipsis a few years ahead, where AJ is now a young boy. With diminishing resources amid the apocalypse, Clementine and AJ find the importance of staying with communities of vital importance, meeting other characters who have little memory of the time before the downfall of society. Clementine starts to teach AJ the essentials of survival as Lee had taught her. Telltale had initially considered writing a version of Clementine that had become more jaded, but found this was far too different from the established version of the character, and reworked her to be more sympathetic.

And while the game is very engaging and certainly a fun adventure game, the game can feel very short. As said before, each episode can take from 1-2 hours to complete, and with only 5 available (sources claim a second season is in the works) this can get pretty short. And while 5 dollars (approximately 400 Microsoft Points) isn't much, when added up its a fairly steep price for a few hours of gameplay. The cast of teens are all great this time around and with only four episodes, The Final Season feels more focused than any other. It cleverly references the series’ past and knows what parts of its history to touch upon again. It’s also Telltale’s most impressive title, gameplay-wise. Fixed camera angles are gone and the game even features a light combat system.a b Nunneley, Stephanny (July 19, 2017).

Part of that connection comes from excellent writing from the Telltale staff that manages to be funny, tense and scary at the right moments, amazing voice acting from Lee and Clementine, and a visual style that’s pulled from the comic book world the game is set in and that never manages to get boring. There’s this perfect storm here that manages to create such believable characters and set us in their world. Sarkar, Samit (December 3, 2015).

Despite the title The Final Season, Telltale did not rule out future The Walking Dead games; Creative Director Kent Mudle said that The Final Season title represented the end of Clementine's journey from Telltale's view, but could revisit the franchise through other characters.
