Telltale's The Walking Dead will return for a third season of episodes, the developer has confirmed.

The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and Telltale founder Kevin Bruner confirmed the news during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend.

The developer is currently wrapping up the game's second season - its penultimate episode released last week, with the finale expected in the not-too distant future.

Details on the game's third slate of episodes currently remain scarce and with the second season finale still to go, who knows which characters will live to see the next series.

Telltale's other upcoming projects include its Tales from the Borderlands, based on Gearbox's shooter series, and a mysterious Game of Thrones tie-in.
