![]() ![]() Given that the first two seasons were released on a wide variety of platforms (I happened to have played the game's first season across PC and Xbox 360, myself) and that A New Frontier has marked the first title that Telltale has skipped the last generation of consoles to release, thankfully the third season of The Walking Dead includes a number of ways to import save files and continue your story from Season One and Two. While that means there aren't a ton of immediate consequences or decisions that seem to take effect from the first two seasons, the ways that I saw Clementine act and the outcomes of certain scenes brought me right back to events and choices that I remember making from the first two seasons, while still offering a new experience from the likes of Javier and the other new characters introduced. When it comes to what players of previous seasons of The Walking Dead can expect from A New Frontier, the third season's first two episodes largely focus on setting up the new experiences, characters, and worlds that players will explore across the remaining episodes of the season. "Plenty of revelations about Clementine and Javier come forth as they build a partnership and work together in ways that both bring them together and threaten to tear them apart." While trying to find a way to survive among the reign of the New Frontier, plenty of revelations about Clementine and Javier come forth as they build a partnership and work together in ways that both bring them together and threaten to tear them apart. Once Javier and Clementine cross paths, the rest of The Walking Dead: A New Frontier sets up the season to come with a larger, more expansive look at life after the end of the world, with the titular "New Frontier" serving as the season's mysterious group that wreaks havoc for Clementine, Javier, and the rest of the game's cast. ![]() Likewise, Clementine retains all of the qualities that made her such a relatable character from the first two seasons, while the third season's time jump opens up many new developments for her both as a character and in the season's larger story. "The first two episodes show that Javier is just as much of a character worth exploring and sympathizing with along the way."Įqually strong-willed and brave, Javier is a likable and compelling character at the start of The Walking Dead: A New Frontier, though given enough of a backstory to make him equally questionable when it comes to his motives and emotions, both before and after the end of the world. Clementine certainly has a big presence in A New Frontier, and while she is relegated more towards being a supporting character (with control of her being given to players in a few key scenes), the first two episodes show that Javier is just as much of a character worth exploring and sympathizing with along the way. Given that the first two seasons of Telltale's The Walking Dead were so heavily tied to Clementine - the instantly likable and sympathetic young girl that players steered away from innocence and towards fighting for survival - it may be a bit of an adjustment for longtime players entering A New Frontier with the game's main perspective being from Javier. While trying to stay ahead of a giant horde of approaching walkers, players uncover more about Javier's past along with those of his family - his accompanying niece, nephew, and sister-in-law - while meeting plenty of other new and (very) familiar faces along the way to fans of the series so far. Taking place several years after the events of The Walking Dead: Season Two, A New Frontier offers players a new perspective through the eyes of Javier, a disgraced former baseball player navigating the new post-apocalyptic world with his family - or, at least what remains of it. ![]() " A New Frontier seeks to bridge the gap between an experience that continues what players started in the first two seasons, while offering a story that first-time players can jump into blind." ![]()
