The original headline for this story was "The Walking Dead shambling onto Vita." But then, we didn't want you to think it was Activision's game.
Yes, Shacknews 2012 Game of the Year winner is finding yet another platform to infect. Telltale Games' episodic series will be coming to Vita later this year.
Update: Telltale issues an update to Game Informer: "The current estimated release window for Season Two of The Walking Dead is for fall of 'this' year (2013), and not ‘next’ year (2014) as has been reported after a recent interview. We apologize for any confusion and thank you and all of our fans for your continued excitement for Telltale’s series."
Original Story: The Walking Dead won our Game of the Year and left us eager for more, but the waiting may be longer than anticipated. Telltale Games co-founder and CEO Dan Connors says the studio is targeting the latter part of 2014.

The Walking Dead was a well-deserved runaway winner for our top game of 2012, and for that reason, we can't wait to get our hands on what Telltale Games has planned for season two. But there's a chance that something could be coming even before that.
Fresh from the heaping pile of accolades that The Walking Dead received in Game of the Year lists that stretched across all corners of the industry, one hopes that developer Telltale Games isn't taking its success for granted. At last week's DICE summit in Las Vegas, Telltale co-founder and CEO Dan Connors revealed a bit more about his company's plans for another season of episodic zombie avoidance and drama, and shared some more info about the upcoming Fables-based project. He also shared some insight into the role of puzzles in traditional adventure games, and how that relationship might not be the same as it once was.
Video game awards season isn't truly over until the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) has had its say. This year, the PlayStation 3 title Journey stole the show. The title won eight of its 11 nominations, including Game of the Year, Outstanding Innovation in Gaming, and Outstanding Achievement in Game Direction.
Telltale's The Walking Dead takes the dystopian world of the original comic books, and turns it into an active experience--evoking the kind of emotion that can only be possible through games.
Serving as a prequel to the ongoing comic book series from Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead's story begins with a convict named Lee. What he is beyond that opening scene is entirely up to the player. He can be a guy caught in an unfortunate circumstance, a brave leader, an unrepentant jerk, or even a silent protagonist. He's a conduit of player choice.
It's still awards season, and that means more nominees are incoming. The Game Developers Choice Award nominees have been announced, and a few familiar titles are out in front. Journey has the most at six nominations, including Game of the Year. Other leaders with multiple nods include Dishonored with four and The Walking Dead with three.
The Walking Dead's retail release has been less than stellar on the Xbox 360. Players have complained of severe hitching that has prevented them from completing some of the game's quick-time events, which could just halt progress completely. Telltale has started offering a solution: just take the digital version.
In Spoiler-Talk, we take a no-holds-barred look at some of the biggest games and discuss what the future holds for these franchises. Expect many, many spoilers.
The Walking Dead was one of this year's most talked-about games. Speaking from personal experience, I spent hours meticulously discussing my decisions with a good friend. While we both prioritized protecting the precocious Clementine, the ethical twists and turns to that end left us divided on issues in the best of ways. The water cooler conversation became one of my favorite parts of the Walking Dead experience, and I know I'm not alone. So let's review some of those tough choices, and what it might mean for the next season.
The Walking Dead has been one of this year's surprise critical hits, reviving the adventure genre and the zombie trope that both seemed stuck in a rut. It's put a spring in Telltale's step with strong sales, too, after the Jurassic Park game was roundly panned. So just how much has Telltale's zombie-adventure game sold?
The runaway success of Telltale's The Walking Dead game has greenlit a second season. While the ultimate outcome for the five episode adventure may not vary much, the developer is still "figuring out" how to carry over decisions from the first season into the next.
If you've missed out on Telltale's The Walking Dead, today might be a good chance to catch up. The holiday week's rolling deals on the Xbox Live Marketplace have reduced the cost of the entire season to ten bucks, less than half the price of buying each episode individually at full cost.
Clementine, the vulnerable 8 year old girl you're tasked with protecting in Telltale's The Walking Dead, is one of the most iconic characters in games this year. In a new feature detailing the character's inception, Telltale reveals that the game was always designed to center around her. "Clementine was literally the first idea," writer Sean Vanaman revealed. "From the beginning, the designers knew they wanted a character that would act as a moral compass for the main character as he progressed through the game."
The recent retail release of The Walking Dead provides another way of experiencing Telltale's episodic adventure game. However, it appears that the Xbox 360 version may be worse than its download counterpart.
