The first two episodes of The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - A New Frontier have been critically acclaimed. In its review, IGN.com stated: "Smart characterization and writing for Javier and his family, along with Clementine's return, add weight to an unusual yet already compelling new frontier that I can't wait to continue exploring." It added that "this uncharted territory feels familiar and promising".
GamesRadar announced that A New Frontier "demonstrates the resonant power of interactive storytelling" and therefore "strikes the perfect balance between rewarding longtime players who have shaped their own version of the story and welcoming those who might be joining this grim adventure for the first time".
Game Informer added that this two-part premiere features "shocking deaths, intense betrayals, and difficult decisions to make in a split second", stating that "everything leads to a huge cliffhanger, which left me intrigued about what might happen next".
The highly anticipated episode 3, 'Above the Law', will be released in March. More detailed information about this third episode will be revealed in the coming weeks.
In this story, the player has only their family left… and must do everything to protect them. Four years after the end of civilization and the invasion of the walking dead, pockets of resistance are emerging from the chaos. But at what cost? Can the living be trusted on this new frontier?
Playing as Javier, a determined young man trying to find the family that was taken from him, the player meets a young girl who has already experienced every loss imaginable. Her name is Clementine, and their fates are linked in a story where every choice could be their last.
The Walking Dead: A New Frontier is both a new beginning for players discovering the series and unfamiliar with Clementine, and a continuation for players who took part in seasons one and two. New players can begin a story tailored to this new beginning.
Those continuing their journey have several options for quickly configuring a customized backstory or importing previous save files.
The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - A New Frontier is rated PEGI 18.
