Yesterday, Telltale Games joined their friends at Skybound Entertainment live on stage at San Diego Comic-Con to discuss a few more details on their upcoming season of The Walking Dead.

A poster was revealed which is a homage to the original poster for Season 1 that was shown off at SDCC in 2011. The differences being that Clem is obviously no longer in need of protection and stands with newcomer Javier.

The Walking Dead’s Creative Director Dennis Lenart from Telltale was joined by Melissa Hutchison (voice of Clementine) to share a few more details about the upcoming season.

They confirmed that you’ll be playing as both Clem and Javier but not necessarily in the same time frame. Another unique aspect of this third season is that while it absolutely continues the story of the previous two seasons, it also serves as a new entry point for fans who’ve yet to be caught up to speed. Players starting with this third season will be introduced to young survivor AJ, who fans will recognize as the son of Rebecca from Season Two. So players who are new to the series will have a chance to learn more about Clementine’s backstory, while at the same time, those who have played previous seasons will have a story that’s uniquely tailored to the paths they’ve taken in the past.

Lenart also discussed the importance of playing as Javier, and how the team was able to create a character without any prior relationship with Clementine. This will provide an interesting opportunity for players to meet a character they may have helped shape. They’ll also have a chance to play as a survivor fresh to the series, who is currently struggling to keep his family together in the face of the undead apocalypse.

Season 3 of Telltale’s The Walking Dead is set to release sometime this fall.
