First Look: Telltale’s ‘The Walking Dead: The Final Season’ Ends Clementine’s Story
We met young Clementine back in April 2012 in the first season of Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead, an episodic, choose your own adventure expansion on Robert Kirkman’s universe that put you in control of every decision made by the main characters. After three main seasons, the game comes to an end this year with TWD: The Final Season.
Via PSU, we’ve learned today that Telltale will be showing off The Final Season for the first time at its PAX East Panel next Friday, April 6 at 12:30pm ET. They say, “Together we’ll look back on Clementine’s journey so far and take a sneak peek at how it all ends. Those not in attendance can watch the panel live on Twitch: twitch.tv/pax-2.”
The Final Season promises to bring an end to Clem’s story, and the first image shows an older Clementine protecting a young child… a role reversal from when we first met her.
We’re thinking you’ll need tissues handy for this one.

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
