About

The Walking Dead: A New Frontieris an episodic graphic adventure game based on Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead comic book series developed by Telltale Games.

Can the living be trusted on this new frontier? As Javier, a young man determined to find the family taken from him, you meet a young gir…
