Contrary to previous reports of a 2014 release date, TellTale Games has re-confirmed that The Walking Dead: Season Two is in fact set for a Fall 2013 release. After The Walking Dead: Season One won Best Story at the BAFTA Game Awards, TellTale CEO Dan Connors told Eurogamer “We’re aiming for fall of next year.”
TellTale later clarified with the following statement:
“The current estimated release window for Season Two of The Walking Dead is for fall of ‘this’ year (2013), and not ‘next’ year (2014) as has been reported after a recent interview. We apologize for any confusion and thank you and all of our fans for your continued excitement for Telltale’s series.”
This lines up with series story consultant Gary Whitta’s tease to IGN that “there may be something in the works as we speak that will make the wait for Season 2 slightly less agonizing” promotes the idea that this added content could arrive much sooner than previously thought as he mentioned that players “won’t have to wait for Season 2 to play more Walking Dead“.
Provided Whitta isn’t speaking of The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct – a shooter from Activision for PS3, 360, PC and Wii U – it only suggests that new content may possibly be seen in late Spring or late Summer 2013 and so we can all reassume our Walking Dead positions: sitting on the edge of our seats.
