Telltale Games apparently wants me and millions of fans to hate them. The new trailer The Walking Dead: The Final Season shows Clementine and AJ together. It seems peaceful enough and then Clementine drops the foreshadowing bomb:
What do you do… if i get bit?
We did not see it coming with Lee. We thought Kenny was already gone. Jane was a disappointment, regardless of the choice you made. I (personally) can’t deal with this!
OK, I have composed myself. What we can gather from the trailer (aside from terrible foreshadowing) is that time has passed. AJ and Clementine look to have taken Lee’s advice. They are nowhere near a city. AJ is walking, talking and handling a gun. He looks to be about Clementine’s age in season one. This means she is late teens, possibly twenty now. In two months and eight days we will get answers and more questions. Get your tissues ready.
The Walking Dead: The Final Season launches on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One August 8, 2018. The Nintnedo Switch version comes later this year. Pre-orders open Friday, June 8.
