Though Telltale Games and Skybound Entertainment announced earlier this month that the first episode of The Walking Dead: The Final Season would be launching in August, plenty of people still haven’t played the entire series of games. With that in mind, Telltale and Sony are offering players a chance to do just that, and all they have to do is preorder the Season Pass for the upcoming Final Season.
By heading over to the PlayStation Store, players can preorder the Season Pass now (available for $19.99) and claim not only a set of avatars based on some of the characters from the game, but also The Walking Dead Collection, which comes packed with enhanced versions of Season One, Season Two, 400 Days, and Michonne. If you haven’t yet, all four of those games should hold you over until the August 14th release date of The Final Season’s first episode.
For more on the upcoming final season of The Walking Dead, check an overview from Telltale below:
- Emotional, Gut-Wrenching Story – See Clementine’s journey through to the end. As she builds a new life, you will have to grapple with new types of choices and live with the consequences as AJ looks on, learning from your every move.
- More Control, More Tension – A new over-the-shoulder camera system, greater freedom to explore detailed environments, and scenes with unscripted combat capture the fear of living in a world overrun by the undead and create the most engaging The Walking Dead game yet.
- Striking New Visual Style – The all-new Graphic Black art style rips the ink from the pages of the Eisner Award-winning comic book series and brings the world of The Walking Dead to life like never before. Supports 4K resolution and high dynamic range on compatible devices.
The Walking Dead: The Final Season will begin on August 14, 2018.

10 Properties That Telltale Games Should Work On
-
Animal Man
While Animal Man might not be DC's most popular superhero, he is one of the most interesting. Over the years, the series has touched on a lot of more mature themes than most comic books do. The series seems like a great fit for a game due to its psychedelic art style, and that Buddy Baker's ability to borrow the skills of animals seems perfect for some unique puzzle solving.
-
Bioshock
Bioshock has one of the most unique worlds ever conceived in a video game. An episodic series showing off more parts of the world, and additional cities, could be fantastic.
-
Dragon Ball
While the battle heavy Dragon Ball Z is more popular, Dragon Ball would be a better fit for Telltale. The series that stars Goku as a kid was much more light hearted, and focused on humorous situations. With nostalgia at an all-time high, this would be a great time to give Dragon Ball fans something more substantial than a fighting game.
-
Arrested Development
Since the actors' busy schedules has delayed a possible season 5, maybe a video game adaptation could fill the void. Few shows have as many memorable characters as Arrested Development, and who wouldn't want to play a game that focused on Franklin's aspiring musical career?
-
Metal Gear Solid
If there were any complaints about Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain it was the lack of story. So, if anyone is going to continue making Metal Gear games, then why not have the storytelling masterminds at Telltale do it? There is still an exciting universe to flesh out, so Telltale could take the series in some new, fresh directions.
-
Uncharted
If we're going to get anymore Uncharted adventures after Uncharted 4, then they probably shouldn't be by Naughty Dog. Considering that the mediocre shooting has always been the series' main issue, a Telltale developed game that focused on storytelling and puzzle solving could do wonders for keeping the series relevant. An episodic adventure starring a young Victor Sullivan going on different escapades? Sign me up.
-
Scream
If Until Dawn taught us anything, it was that the horror genre has untapped potential. The Scream series, with its unique mixture of humor and jump scares, seems like it would be a natural fit. And we trust that Telltale could make something really special.
-
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Not only is Star Trek: The Next Generation the best television series ever, it would work great as an episodic video game. Most of the memorable moments were not space battles, rather the series focused on moral dilemmas, and tough choices. That seems a lot like what Telltale's strong suits are!
-
The Simpsons
LEGO Dimensions was a great reminder that there hasn't been a Simpsons game in quite some time. Telltale has comedy writing chops, and they might be able to write some interactive episodes that would be better than the show itself. Throw in how many great characters there are, and there could be countless episodes.
-
WWE
There are a lot aspects of sports that don't get touched upon in video games. There are even more aspects in sports entertainment that gets ignored. A choice driven game where you are a WWE booker or GM could be endlessly fascinating. Especially with how crazy matches and storylines can get.
Just think, Cesaro could finally get that push he deserves.
