Telltales Walking Dead set for Wii U launch

The Walking Dead video game series from Telltale Games will be getting a belated launch on the Wii U console, according to reports

Telltale's The Walking Dead video game series kicked off in April 2012 and has been thrilling fans of tight narratives and adventure games ever since. Across two seasons and a mini-series, it quite simply has some of the best writing ever seen in a game, and more emotion than most movies we've watched recently.

The series has appeared on pretty much every platform you can think of to date - including mobile, Ouya, PC and pretty much every console but not quite all. That's set to be remedied soon with a release on Nintendo's Wii U.

According to a listing on the Game.co.uk website, A Walking Dead Combo Pack will be getting a release on Wii U on the 30th of October 2015. That will include both season 1 and season 2 as well as the bridging episode 400 Days which was released in 2013. That's a good 10-15 hours of content with an incredible story arc - though we really wouldn't recommend playing it all through in one sitting. You might find you have no feels left.

This release is a good way to keep the game in public consciousness as word on Season 3 has been pretty limited so far. It seems we won't be seeing another full series until some time in 2016 but fans needn't fret - another mini-series is on the way before the end of the year. Titled The Walking Dead Michonne it deals with that popular sword-weilding character from the comics and what happened with her after she separated from the Grimes group - the ones you see in The Walking Dead TV show.

It's likely that this new content will be offered to Wii U adopters, and hopefully for free.

Expect The Walking Dead Combo pack on Wii U on the 30th of October 2015.
