Telltale has announced that a second season of The Walking Dead: The Game will follow the first five episodes. The announcement comes hot on the heels of Activision’s announcement that it will release a Walking Dead first-person shooter , but to clarify, The Walking Dead: The Game is the downloadable adventure game that first released in April. Telltale originally announced that The Walking Dead: The Game would feature five episodes. Episodes one and two have already been released, and episode three is currently slated for mid-August . While release dates for episodes four and five haven’t been announced yet, Telltale is already planning for what it will do next. According to a statement from Telltale senior vice president of marketing Steve Allison, "Following the digital release of our fifth episode we will also be coming to North American retail shortly thereafter and this will not be the last The Walking Dead game series that we do."

Allison also revealed that the first episodes of the game have “sold nearly 1.7 million episodes to consumers in just our first 8 weeks with no signs of slowing down.” As for Activision’s announcement about the other Walking Dead game? Allison had a comment about that, too. "Regarding today's announcement of a project based [on] the AMC TV series coming in 2013, as huge fans of the franchise and the show, we're looking forward to seeing Terminal Reality's game when it comes out."
