The Walking Dead: The Game is to receive at least one more season, Telltale Games has announced.

The studio confirmed that the first season of its episodic adventure based on the Image Comics series is to receive a retail release, and revealed plans for future series.



"We believe there is no better company than Telltale to bring complex narrative IP to interactive entertainment," senior vice president of marketing Steve Allison told The Verge.

"Our first episodic game series based on The Walking Dead has sold nearly 1.7 million episodes to consumers in just our first eight weeks with no signs of slowing down. We have three more episodes to go with Episode 3 targeted for August as we confirmed yesterday."

He added: "Following the digital release of our fifth episode we will also be coming to North American retail shortly thereafter and this will not be the last The Walking Dead game series that we do."

Activision announced earlier this week that it is working on its own Walking Dead title, a first-person shooter set within the zombie series' universe.

Walking Dead: Episode 3 - Long Road Ahead will be released in August.
