1. Which game in The Walking Dead Telltale Series should you play first?

The Walking Dead: Season 1 should be played first in the Telltale series. It was released back in 2012 and is the first game in the series. This game properly introduces players to the world of The Walking Dead Telltale Series and its characters.

Once you’ve completed Season 1, follow the order given above to play through the rest of the series. The order mentioned above will provide you with the entire lore of The Walking Dead in a chronological manner.

2. Do you need to play The Walking Dead Telltale Series in order?

The Walking Dead Telltale Series needs to be played in order since it is an episodic interactive game. Similar to the TV series, if the players skip a season, they won’t be able to understand the complete story of the game and the series in general.

Not playing The Walking Dead series in order could potentially result in players getting lost halfway through the series, which is precisely why you should follow the definitive order to play the series.

3. How many seasons are in The Walking Dead Telltale in order?

The Walking Dead Telltale videogame series has four (4) seasons:

1. The Walking Dead: Season 1
2. The Walking Dead: Season 2
3. The Walking Dead: A New Frontier
4. The Walking Dead: The Final Season

Apart from these seasons, the series also has the Michonne Mini-Series, which follows some aspects of the untold journey of the iconic Walking Dead character, Michonne.

4. Can I skip season 3 of the Walking Dead Telltale series?

Season 3 of the Walking Dead Telltale series can be skipped, as it does not add much to the story progression and does not build up to season 4.

However, if you are a Walking Dead fan, it is worth playing the experience and the characters’ storyline.

5. Is Telltale making a Walking Dead Season 5?

Telltale has no plans to continue The Walking Dead series as of now. However, back in 2019, Skybound Entertainment tweeted out asking fans for an opinion on a new approach to The Walking Dead game series.

Some fans suggested a Last of Us-esque Walking Dead game, where the players had to progress through a linear campaign, while others suggested a Grand Theft Auto type of game where players had to control characters in an apocalyptic open world.

6. Will there be a new Walking Dead game?

The Walking Dead universe will be welcoming a new game this year itself. AMC and Free League Publishing have announced a new tabletop roleplaying game set in the world of The Walking Dead called The Walking Dead Universe Roleplaying Game.

The game will debut in the Fall of 2023, and it’ll include an actual play series created with the help of the Chief Content Officer and former showrunner of The Walking Dead, Scott M. Gimple. A Kickstarter campaign for the game will be launched in Spring 2023.
