Telltale's The Walking Dead Season Three won't launch this year
But other projects will.
Telltale will not launch a third season of its The Walking Dead game this year, the developer has confirmed.
A third round of episodes will arrive at some point - likely in 2016 - although the studio currently has a full slate of other projects in production.
Writing on Twitter, Telltale spokesperson Job Stauffer confirmed fans would have to wait a little longer for more episodic undead action - but something "big" related to Walking Dead would still be released.
This is likely another standalone episode, similar to Season One's 400 Days. That episode acted as a bridge between the first two seasons and introduced a handful of Season Two characters.
To re-clarify, no, TWD S3 is *not* starting in 2015. But what I am seeing this week will be, and it is insanely cool. Stay close, news soon!

Telltale is currently busy finishing off its Game of Thrones series and (slowly) releasing Tales from the Borderlands.
It has already announced Minecraft: Story Mode, a single-player adventure spin-off from the successful sandbox game, and has its own new IP in the works.
Telltale recently signed a partnership with film studio Lionsgate to work on TV and video game "super shows", although the first of these may still be a while off.
Even further down the road, Telltale is planning to partner with Marvel for at least one game series launching in 2017.
