The Walking Dead Launch Trailer is Bloody Good
Written Wednesday, April 25, 2012 By Lee Bradley

Telltale Games has released the launch trailer for its adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s graphic novel series The Walking Dead. Featuring that nifty faux-cell shaded art style, it’s a looker.

There will be five episodes of the series made available, all following the protagonist Lee Everett. He’s a completely new character created for the games, with Glenn and Hershel due to make cameo appearances later down the line.

The first episode, A New Day, is due out on XBLA “shortly” for 400 MSP. Check out the trailer below.

Only 400? Nice.

Definitely looking forward to this. I just hope it isn't a letdown.

Didn't expect much from this until I saw the first four minutes of Episode 1, it looks great!

Is it me or have they given away a lot of the plot for the game already? Awesome trailer though, looking forward to these.

So if they continue with the 400MP for each episode, we're not looking at much for what looks like awesome content! Very cool :)

I love the TV series, haven't read the comics :(
Game is looking great though still can't decide just exactly what you do whilst playing it, can't wait to see what the trial shows!
It's still not up yet though...

But Bloodforge is for those who're interested in that

I heard from a friend who has it for the PS3 you can buy a bundle and get all 5 stories, that's probably what ill do.

I'm guessing the first will be 400 points to tempt us all in, then will no doubt shoot up to 1200 before the end? :(

"...with Glenn and Hershel due to make cameo appearances later down the line..." Isn't that Glenn at 1.24?

The crossovers will be very sweet in this for those of us who've read all the comics and watched all the TV eps!

I just need to know when the release date is. Checked it out on PS3 yesterday, but I gotta download it on my 360. Come on TellTale, when is it coming to us 360 users?

Glenn is in the first episode. But only that episode, since he travels to Atlanta.

@19 Apparently there hasn't been this kind of option announced for the 360 version. Hoping there will be though, as I'm planning on getting the first, and there'd be no point in getting that and skipping the others. Looks sweet.

I was disappointed by Bloodforge (especially the drunken camera making me sea sick)
So committed to getting this now, however it isnt available yet :(

This game is BORING! More boring than Telltale's BTTF. I'm glad I played the demo first on PSN.

Hmm, I think I'll be buying this, been on the fence for a while, but zombies, interesting story, concentration on characters and drama rather then action, low price for all 5... I'm sold, I'm getting each of these, gonna get some Microsoft points at the weekend for this I think.

Excited about this game but also disappointed that PS3 and PC got it already and Xbox still hasn't seen it or had any solid news of an actual release. I would love to buy the pass also but as it looks Xbox want receive that either. Anyone heard anything on the release? Doesn't look like it is going to be today or it would have been out already. :/

There better be a trial version of this, I want to try it first before I pay for the entire series of games [and if it's good I WILL be buying it all.]

Friday!? I cant wait that long :( well, I suppose I've waited THIS long. What about that 400 MSP?! Now I'm getting a feeling this will be a real quick arcade game, like the length of a demo... =

#46 both Telltale games and Robert Kirkman said that it will take upwards to two hours for you to beat each episode. However, they didn't specify if that means on your first time playing or if you're a master at the game
