The Walking Dead: Huge announcement made regarding new series

Telltale have given Michonne her own spin-off series

TELLTALE have revealed that new mini-series The Walking Dead: Michonne will premiere in February 2016.

 

The game will focus primarily on the sword-wielding heroine and looks set to give fans a much greater insight into one of the show’s favourite characters across three episodes.

Michonne’s series was originally scheduled for a 2015 release following its original announcement at E3, but with the final episode of Telltale’s Game of Thrones only making its way onto phones and tablets last month, a decision has clearly been made to keep fans waiting just a little bit longer.

 

The game will be released in February

The new Walking Dead game will feature Orange is the New Black star Samira Wiley, and Telltale are confident that fans will be treated to another great storyline.

A statement read: “A stand-alone three episode event, 'The Walking Dead: Michonne' further bridges together the Telltale game series with the canon of Robert Kirkman's comic through one of its most complex characters.

 

Walking Dead fans will be able to explore Michonne's character in more depth
