The Walking Dead: A New Frontier is the third season of Telltale's adaptation of The Walking Dead comic book series. It continues the previous games' concept as a narrative-driven title where most of the game is presented as a series of cinematic story scenes.
Player interaction is limited to dialogue options during conversations, Quick Time Events in action scenes, and free movement and minor puzzle-solving elements in some environments that can be explored freely. The game is an episodic series that comprises five installments released over time: Ties That Bind Part One, Ties That Bind Part Two, Above the Law, Thicker than Water, and From the Gallows.
The first two episodes where released simultaneously. As before, choices are carried over between episodes and lead to different events and experiences.
The game follows Javier Garcia, returning from the first two seasons, as he travels with Kate, his brother's wife, his nephew Gabe, and his niece Mariana. They are constantly on the move to stay ahead of a large Walker herd, stopping for food, gas, and resources wherever they can.
Clementine is introduced and she meets Javi, along with a large cast of new characters. What happened to Clem between the second and the third season is revealed through a series of interactive flashbacks.
The game's mechanics and game elements return. Visually an identical style is used. This title supports Crowd Play, where an online audience can vote or suggest choices to experience and steer the game as a group.
