Here's the announcement trailer again in case you missed it: Kevin Bruner, Co-Founder and CEO of Telltale Games stated:
"As a harrowing and horrific drama, 'A New Frontier' will explore beyond what it means to survive in a world ravaged by the undead, and will see our characters confronting the new rules of order and justice in a land being brutally reclaimed and rediscovered by what's left of humanity itself." It's been almost four years since the events of the first season and Clementine is no longer a frightened little girl but a battle-scarred teenager; with a youngling of her own to protect, no less. The game also introduces newcomer, Javier, a man trying to struggling to keep his family together in the new world. "When we began this series, we explored what it meant to protect a character like Clementine at all costs," said Kevin Boyle, Executive Producer on the series. "Years later, meeting her for the first time, Javier will begin to unravel the mystery of who Clementine has become, as her story intersects with his - both of them still driven by the things they value most long after society's collapse." Sounds intriguing. Are you excited to see how Clementine's story will play out? Let us know in the forums or leave a comment below.
