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.
It is an episodic series that comprises five installments released over time:
The game follows Javier Garcia and Clementine as they navigate a post-apocalyptic world. The first two episodes were released simultaneously, allowing players to carry over choices between episodes. This season introduces new characters and continues the story of Javier's family before the zombie apocalypse.
Players can import saves from previous seasons or create their own background story for Clementine at the start of the game. Most mechanics and game elements return, with a visually identical style used throughout. The title supports Crowd Play, allowing players to vote on choices and steer the game as a group.
The game was released for Xbox One in 2017-02-23 and is available as a compilation or separately across various platforms.
