Gaming News:Watch the First Six Minutes of Telltale's New Walking Dead Miniseries

The Walking Dead: Michonne launches this month and Telltale has gone so far as to tease the release of its three episode miniseries with an extended preview of the opening minutes of the premier episode. Titled 'In Too Deep,' episode one deals with Michonne joining Pete and his crew aboard a ship called The Companion. However, things go wrong when they follow a desperate signal for help and find a the site of a horrific slaughter. That leads them to a floating colony of survivors called Monroe, an isolated safe haven that might just be hiding the twisted person behind the massacre. 

 

As for the preview itself... I'll give you fair warning: It's heavy, even by The Walking Dead's standards. 

 

 

'In Too Deep' releases on February 23 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PC, and Mac. It will be followed by an iOS and Android release on February 25. The second episode, titled 'Give No Shelter,' will be released sometime in March, while the final entry in the miniseries 'What We Deserve,' will become available in April. The entire miniseries will cost $14.99.

 

Though the series isn't a full season, Telltale seems to be giving it the star treatment. They've brought on Samira Wiley of Orange is the New Black fame to voice Michonne. The press releases about the title compare it to the first season of Telltale's The Walking Dead series and tout its many (over 100) Game of the Year awards. For fans of The Walking Dead graphic novels and show, this Michonne miniseries will fill in missing gaps in the iconic sword-wielding woman's story.
