Man I love this series. Im glad things are still humming along just fine with Telltale. They got a lot on their plate this year, but continuing TWD has me looking forward to something awesome in the future.
I agree 5 hours is ridiculous for one episode. Telltale wants everybody playing one of their episodes to finish it in one sitting. The furthest I think they'll ever go in terms of length now is about 2 and a half hours.
Michonne is planned to end on April since they announced its third episode being released on April. At the same time they're saying that it'll be the biggest year for The Walking Dead they've ever had. Well... I don't know about the rest of this community but IMO this must means that they'll release Season 3 this year, maybe by the end of it... or maybe not. Maybe there will be just tons of Season 3 news. Either way - I can't wait for it!
Season 3 is currently "deep in development" according to the Michonne Blog post.
The Telltale team has been very hard at work in the w… moreorld of the undead, and while a full third season of The Walking Dead is also currently deep in development, we don’t expect to be able to share any details until after this miniseries concludes. What we can say is that we expect this to be our biggest year for The Walking Dead we’ve ever had, and we’re excited to share this decidedly very different story with Michonne that will explore some themes we’re truly excited about bringing to the interactive space.
Yeah, maybe they're saying that it'll be the biggest year for TWD yet because they're going to release two TWD games. Or maybe not - maybe they're just teasing us and in reality they'll just give us a lot of news related to Season 3. I can even imagine a scenerio where Telltale will reveal the release dates for the first episode by the end of this year. That would be hilarious, don't you think?
What's interesting to note; when they say that this year is intended to be "the biggest year for The Walking Dead," that could potentially m… moreean we could see a bare minimum of at least three or more episodes from Season 3 this year. I say that assuming they mean the "biggest year" in terms of how many episodes are released. 2012 had five episodes from Season 1 in one year, so to top that, they would at least need one episode more (in other words, from five to six episodes) to make 2016 bigger than 2012, keeping in mind Michonne is already three episodes.
By that logic, assuming we get a bare minimum of three Season 3 episodes this year, we could see a premiere of Season 3 by October at the very latest if they stick with Monthly episodes for Season 3 like they have for Minecraft and Michonne.
They had 2 and a half hour episodes in Season 1 and they reduced it because they wanted their episode to be long enough to be finished in one playthrough. I think that 2 hours episodes are the ebst in terms of length we can expect from them.

I just beat the 2nd season ( I kno I'm a lil late lol) but I cant wait for season 3! I want more Clem!! from wat I heard they are gonna do a… morenother time skip and shes gonna be 14 now. Not sure on wat I think about tht. Also I guess its cool to have AJ around but honestly in a world like tht one I think hes just going 2 be a burden and old her back, could just be me. Id rather have more of just Clem kicking ass and surviving by herself and growing more as a character. That's just my opinion though. As long as they have MORE CLEMINTINE I wont mind if AJ sticks around.
That's not confirmed, although it seems like a good possibility based off of pure speculation, since E3 begins a little while after Michonne ends, and E3 (or some Summer Comic Con event) would be a great place to finally share details on Season 3.
They probably will release Batman late spring or early this summer (I'd actually be surprised if they don't as Batman v Superman is the summer blockbuster film release this year, as it releases in theaters this March). But they also teased a small Poker Night sized game back in 2013, so it's still possible that they could do their standard late fall premiere for The Walking Dead Season Three, and release the single episode game during the lull in releases between spring and summer, or summer and autumn.
That's just my speculation, anyways. Clem_Is_Awesome could also be right in that they meant two TWD games this year, but even so - it seems … morelike Telltale is making an effort to release a lot more, and I could still see them getting a few episodes in. Even if we only get one or two episodes of Walking Dead S3, we still have episodes from Batman and potentially Game of Thrones S2 to fill in the time. If past experience is any indication, Telltale is not a big fan of extended downtime between series. With Michonne ending in April and Minecraft ending early 2016, that leaves a lot of downtime until late Fall, and with Telltale going back to quick releases, I can see them taking up releases in different parts of the year moving onward.
At different points, they've teased/confirmed Minecraft Episode 5, Michonne, Batman, Walking Dead S3, and Game of Thrones S2 - and that's not even counting their first Super Show, which they seemingly hinted last… [view original content]
In retrospect, given that we recently found out Telltale trademarked "Telltale Series" and "Telltale Miniseries," maybe they were potentially alluding to another Miniseries besides Michonne? (EDIT: Another miniseries for a different franchise like Sam and Max, not another Walking Dead miniseries...)
Normally, I would agree that the timing of Batman Vs Superman would be great for leading into a Spring/Summer release of Telltale's Batman, but we don't seem to know a lot about the game, including the title.

So... how exactly will this be the ''biggest year for The Walking Dead we’ve ever had''? I mean after a full Season 1 we soon got the 400 D… moreays DLC, and now its simply the reverse - we get the Michonne Mini-series (a standalone DLC really) and then we'll get Season 3. What exactly will make this year a bigger year for TWD than the previous years Telltale has worked on TWD? Could it really be because Season 3 itself will somehow be 'bigger'?

You're probably joking, and it's ok if you're not. But, I don't think episodes will be longer, we might just get more Walking Dead content. (More episodes)
I suspect 5 hours long every episode, or the dlc for s3, it will be big. Or twd s2 will have as dlc, continue your story as Clementine. Like ep6,ep7,ep8 something like that.
That too. That way we may get something for TWAU again, if not a full Season. I'm in a TWD fever right now, so I thought that's what you meant. And my point still stands that the two year timeskip has a lot of potential.
That would be infuriating. It would mean all the emotional trauma Season 1&2 caused was just an eight year old girl's imagination.
And come on - do you think Season One Clem could dream up something that violent?

"St. Elsewhere" and "Dallas" called to say hello.
It's going to be interesting to see how Season 3 starts as season 2 finished off with about 4 different endings you could choose from.
And i will be a bit p***** off if your not Clementine again in season 3 as it's sent 2 seasons building our attachment to the character and making her the bad ass she has become just look at how she stitches her own arm in the beginning of Season 2 and she just gets tougher from that point.
She's lost so many people already (Her Parents,Duck, Lee, Luke, Kenny or Jane or even both of them) i'm just hoping for at least a little time hop so she's in her early teens which will make AJ a toddler and building her own group up
I really doubt that Robert Kirkman would want to tell yet another tale focusing on Rick (although having him and/or other members of his group appear in The Walking Dead: Michonne at some point isn't out of the question), as we already have two of those going on (although the TV show isn't in the same universe).
The third season of Telltale's series could certainly focus on Clementine and co. during the period of the two year time skip though (unless The Walking Dead: Michonne is meant to catch the game universe up to the comic universe, which is possible).

I understand why you asked this in the Michonne waiting thread, but we don't have any kind of information on when Season 3 releases, so there's obviously not a preorder option yet. It will be a new game (not purchased in the Season 2 menu)
When it is available, it will be on the marketplace. But that is still a long way off, there won't even be info until Michonne concludes.
After everything that happened i don't see how S03 could happen without clementine. i mean, it can happen of course.. but It would be a tremendous waste of potential in a character who we all love and know so well and that still has so much development ahead.
I don't think (and don't want to believe) that they would throw Clem away so fast..

Don't forget that they're creating Season 3, not some spin-off. That means that story from previous seasons will be continued. That means that Clementine should appear in some form, either as protagonist or side character so don't worry. I never understood those who wanted Telltale to throw away Clementine, to be honest, because at the same time they wanted Telltale to make a fresh start in Season 3. Problem is - it wouldn't be called Season 3 then. It'd be a new series, spin-off of sort or something like that.
In short - don't worry. If Telltale announced that they're creating Season 3 then Clementine will definitely appear in this game. The question is - will she be a playable character or maybe they'll introduce someone new?

I think what @JGStyles was complaining about was the possibility of her NOT being the protagonist of S03. and it would really be a complete waste in my opinion.. but yeah! she will definitively appear in S03.

I guess we'll see but I think that it was stated somewhere as well that Telltale is trying to figure out how to solve this problem that they created by placing multiple endings in Season 2. If S2 endings are suppose to somehow affect S3 then I think putting Clementine as playable character again is logical, considering that we made those choices in S2 so it'd be weird to see the results from the eyes of a different character, don't you think?
Yes! and I largely share your opinion aswell.

Honestly, I don't think multiple endings to be an awfully difficult thing to solve.. i mean, even if at the beginning of the game each player starts the story
completely different, Telltale can always tie everybody back in the same place at some point in the plot. It is something they certainly have done before, probably not on this scale. but no doubt is an artifice well known among them.
..unless you are someone near her. Jane, the new family, or Kenny, yes that would be weird.

Well...neither of those things are really true.
I mean season 1 was more of a new thing, people had little to no expectations when they went into playing it
If that quote does happen to be real and relevant I still dont care, I enjoyed season 2. I dont really care about this guys opinion, He's some guy from the company right?
This meme is a parody of this quote: "Anime was a mistake." —Hayao Miyazaki, which was also something he did not say to begin with, just like Kevin Bruner I'd imagine.

I can imagine that they're just trying to figure out the best way possible to solve this, yes? Especially with multiple beginnings idea for Season 3 if it comes to that. I mean, they have to figure out each result for each ending from Season 2, develop story for it and somehow connect each ending, each story with Season 3 story overall because let's be honest - it's impossible that they'd create different version of S3 based on S2 endings. It's likely that we'd rather see different versions of the first episode or maybe even second too.

E3 have big news for season 3 so hyped and excited

The two year time skip after All Out War has some great potential (from Rick's POV in Alexandria this time, not Michonne's)
I meant another miniseries for a different Telltale franchise - not another Walking Dead miniseries.
400 Days and Season One weren't released in the same year though. 400 Days was released in 2013, while The Walking Dead: Season One concluded in 2012.
Then in 2013, we just got two episodes of The Walking Dead - 400 Days and the premiere episode of Season Two.
But, yeah, season three will be bigger - in an E3 interview, they confirmed that season three will be "considerably larger" than any season before it.
They did say they'd do something with them that wasn't a full season a long time ago.
Yeah, that's what I was alluding to.
You're probably joking, and it's ok if you're not. But, I don't think episodes will be longer, we might just get more Walking Dead content. (More episodes)
I want some good TWD not the Lord of the Rings...

7 endings actually.
Question:
How do we purchase? Is it in the TWD Season 2 Menu? Separate Game?
This is for Xbox aswell, will it just be on the marketplace?

"Make TWDG great again!!!"
I think its always been pretty great, some hicups in both seasons but still
Everyone in TWD forum after S1 = Very Happy
Most people in TWD forum after S2 = Disappointed
