The Walking Dead is currently filming its second season, and Robert Kirkman has been talking about a video game for the hit series for some time now. Joystiq has gotten some details on the game that says the story will NOT follow Officer Rick Grimes like the comics and TV series, but instead follow criminal Lee Everett and a seven year old girl Clementine.
Reports Joystiq:
Telltale Games was staying fairly tight-lipped about its upcoming episodic release based on the Walking Dead TV series and graphic novel. What we do know is that the game won't retell the TV and comic's story of lawman Rick Grimes and his quest to reunite with his family in the wake of the zombie apocalypse.
The game will follow Lee Everett, a criminal loosed from his police escort after it runs into an erstwhile zombie. Everett will unite with a seven-year-old girl named Clementine who Telltale says will provide a sort of moral compass for the convict.
As Rick Grimes tries to make his way into Atlanta, Lee and Clementine are trying to make their way out, which means they'll cross paths with established series characters like Lilly and Glenn.
No word on if the cast from the show will voice their characters or release date. What do you guys think would you rather have a game that follows Rick? Or are you okay with following a different character? As always leave your comments below.
