Developer Telltale Games announced that the latest chapter of its episodic adventure game series The Walking Dead: Season 3 will launch by the end of March and fans can expect answers to many long-standing questions regarding its playable cast.
In particular, the new episode promises revelations regarding starring character Clementine’s involvement with The New Frontier, a separate group of survivors that has taken over Richmond but holds dark secrets at its core.
Telltale Games has produced many episodic series based on popular film, TV, and comic book franchises, but few match the popularity of its adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead. Putting players in control of a handful of survivors following a zombie outbreak, The Walking Dead features narrative twists and turns throughout that are dictated by the choices that players make throughout the adventure.
As in previous episodes of The Walking Dead, decisions are recorded and recalled at specific plot points, meaning that players can expect their actions to have ramifications that span episodes and even seasons. Telltale itself also tracks player choices at key decision points, documenting the most popular decision paths among the game’s player base at large via statistics that pop up at the conclusion of each chapter.
As Telltale winds its way toward The Walking Dead: Season 3‘s conclusion, the studio is currently ramping up production on its next project, an adaptation of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Fans recently got a glimpse at an early version of Guardians of the Galaxy at South by Southwest, where the game was playable on a massive scale as part of Telltale’s Crowd Play initiative.
The third episode of The Walking Dead: Season 3 launches digitally for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PCs, and mobile platforms on March 28.

In terms of iconic pop culture heroes, Link is up there with Luke Skywalker, Frodo Baggins, and Superman. While Benjamin Evan Ainsworth has proven himself capable enough to lead The Legend of Zelda's cast, adapting Link’s character for the big screen is a challenge. For much of the Zelda franchise, Link is depicted as a silent protagonist who serves as a stand-in for the player. However, that doesn't mean Link isn't a unique character. Each version of Link has a distinct story, but they are all known for their incredible courage, loyalty, and dedication to protecting the innocent. However, he has also shown many times that he can be silly, reckless, rageful, guilty, and tempted by greed. Link doesn’t necessarily have to speak in the film to appeal to audiences. However, he just can't be a one-dimensional fantasy hero. We have to see how multifaceted a person Link is as he grows and reacts to everything, carrying such a heavy burden as the Hero of Hyrule. Zelda should share the adventure with Link
