So, we finally know the title for the new Telltale The Walking Dead (Free) season, and it’s the short and subtle The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – A New Frontier. Telltale announced the title today during its PAX West panel and also said that the game will release on all platforms in November. Now, usually I wouldn’t take this with a grain of salt because Telltale has been great at releasing its games on all platforms simultaneously, but since we still haven’t seen BATMAN on iOS (even though the rest of the platforms are about to get the second episode), I say have a salt shaker around.
Other than the release date and the title, Telltale gave a bit more info about the series – though nothing that we haven’t already talked about in the past. The series will partly focus on the mystery of who Clementine has become after all these years in the not-so-child-friendly world she inhabits. We are also getting a new character, Javier, and, most probably, many new dangers for our heroes and anti-heroes to overcome. I’m looking forward to this one.
Could be interesting but the way they chise to implement PvP concerns me.
I still keep the original Cabals game on my phone, and break it out now and then. It remains as solid as Ascension, in my opinion, although it has more in common, in terms of mechanics and gameplay, with Playdek's Summoner Wars. I prefer Cabal's implementation of the "battlemap", though. It's smaller and more variable, allowing for faster games and requiring interesting tactics. The design is also simpler and more stylized, which appeals to me.
(Don't get me wrong; I think Summoner Wars is a fantastic game, too, and it's definitely worth checking out as well if Cabals gameplay tickles your fancy. I just think Cabals is better.)
