The developer broke the news Wednesday morning via its Twitter account. Episode 4 is called “Thicker Than Water” and Telltale also let it be known that an official trailer for the episode will release on Thursday.
So far in Season 3, The Walking Dead: A New Frontier has focused on the adventures (and decisions) of two different playable characters: Javier and Clementine. Although the characters come from completely different backgrounds, they have managed to somewhat unite in their struggle to protect and care for their loved ones in the game’s post-apocalyptic landscape.
We won’t post any spoilers for the recently released Episode 3, but suffice it to say that fans who have completed “Above the Law” will be eager to get to Episode 4 in order to resolve some major plot points, as the fate of some characters hangs in the balance.
With this announcement, April is shaping up to be a pretty big month for Telltale Games. The story-driven games developer just released Episode 1 of its Guardians of the Galaxy game on Tuesday.
That said, the company did also recently lose its CEO, Kevin Bruner, who stepped down while citing the company’s rapid growth over the last few years, saying that it was time to find someone more qualified to take Telltale to the next level. Company co-founder Dan Connors is currently serving as interim CEO while the hunt for a permanent replacement continues.
The Walking Dead: A New Frontier is out now on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as well as Android and iOS devices. Episode 4, “Thicker Than Water,” releases April 25.
