The Walking Dead to Get Retail Disc Release

The Walking Dead to Get Retail Disc Release

Shambling its way to stores this holiday season

Written by Matrarch on 24 September 12 at 18:28 | Credit to METAL MIN0TAUR

While many of you have anxiously awaited each release of Telltale Games' episodic title, The Walking Dead, there are undoubtedly a good number of you who decided that patience is, indeed, a virtue and that you'd wait for a retail release for the title.

Today, Telltale has confirmed via their official Twitter account that the popular point-and-click game will be receiving an on-disc release. On December 4th, gamers in North America can pick up a disc that will include the 'entire season'. The exciting news, besides the release, is that means the remaining episodes will be released over the next couple of months.

No date has yet been confirmed for Europe, but once it is, we'll bring that news to you.

Definitely glad that we can expect the last two episodes at least close to, if not miraculously being on time. Can't wait!

This is going to be strange. 5 episodes on XBL for 500 GS. A retail release has 1,000 GS. Also, individually on XBL, the total cost is $25. I wonder what the retail cost is going to be.

As long as it isn't $20 or less, we'll be pleased. Would suck if they charge more for DLC than a full retail disc with case and all. Can't wait for 4 and 5 to come out.

Told you so.

The best OR worst part ( worst for those who bought it already ) is that everytime marketplace games go to retail discs the marketplace items go on sale. So look for that 400 msp per episode to drop.

Again, I'll gamefly it .... If gamefly is getting it.

I wonder what the retail cost is going to be.What are you on about? Disc version is most likely gonna have same achievements for 500GS. Non stackable.

There are numerous disc release examples for this, like Monkey Island, Alien Breed 1-3 and all different arcade compilations.

It is just xbox live arcade stuff on disc, nothing more.

OT:
Hahahahaha.

No, really, this is exciting confirmation news that I've needed since Episode 1.

Thisis one of the few arcade games that's worth the full price.
