The Walking Dead: The Final Season's episode 3 release date confirmed

The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman's company, Skybound Games, has confirmed that the next instalment of Telltale's The Walking Dead: The Final Season will release on all platforms on 15th January, 2019.

Skybound picked up the rights to complete The Walking Dead: The Final Season after Telltale Games laid off the vast majority of its staff at the end of September. Despite assertions that it was retaining a skeleton team to keep some production going, they too were reportedly laid off just a few days later.

"We're extremely thankful to the team working on this game to make sure the season is finished with the quality the game and the fans deserve. We are #stillnotbitten," said Skybound's Johnny O'Dell via a blog update.

"You may have noticed that all past seasons and episodes of Telltale's The Walking Dead: The Final Season are back up on *almost* all platforms. If you purchased any of the games on PC, we are still getting that sorted and will have an update for you ahead of Broken Toys' launch. If you already purchased the entire season of Telltale's The Walking Dead: The Final Season, you will still have access to episodes three and four on whichever platform you already used to purchase them."

The teaser reflects on Clementine's journey to date - including the many people she met, and lost, along the way - as well as giving us a glimpse of what's in store in episode 3. Here, take a look:
