TellTale Games "The Walking Dead" just dropped the trailer for its final season and oh boy, this game looks like it's going to be amazing and gut wrenching...again.
The trailer opens up with Clementine singing "Row your boat" to a older A.J, maybe 4? He sounds older then he actually is. Anyway, he calls the song "stupid." His reasoning is that if you aren't supposed to scream, screaming attracts the monsters. This was a very interesting scene as he's sitting on a wooden bridge, and there's a walker in the water. It just goes to show that the undead have just become like a normal thing to kids born after the outbreak.
Clem starts to go over the things he needs know when dealing with walkers. Such as, aim for the head and when you start running low and save a bullet for yourself. A pretty dark conversation to have with a child, isn't it? But then, here comes the real kicker that I think foreshadows Clementines end, she says "what do you do, if I get bit?" And the trailer cuts to black.
I have no idea where this is possibly going, but I am very excited non the less. This is a series of games that I have just finally played and it is one of, if not my all time favorite, video game series. I really hope they don't kill Clem off, leave her open to return in a spinoff game or something along those lines. I can't contain my excitement for this game.
I'm really hoping that this game ties up the loose ends, some dating back to the first season. Characters such as Krista, who disappeared just after the first episode of Season 2 and is believed to be at Wellington, but no one knows for sure since we never actually got a glimpse into Wellington. There's still some loose ends such as Mike and the Russian man who's name escapes me, they run off into the woods at the end of Season 2. Are they dead? Are they still out there?
I have no doubt in my mind that this game will be extraordinary and extremely well written, as the previous three seasons were. The first episode of "The Walking Dead: The Final Season" will be available for download August 14th, 2018. Get ready! For now, go back and replay those games and make sure the choices you made are what you want, because Season 4 will be the end.
