Telltale Games recently announced that they have set a release date for The Walking Dead episode 4, the next installment in its video game series.

Episode 4, “Around Every Corner,” is slated to release sometime in October. Following the previous episodes, players’ options are determined from their past choices in this zombie apocalypse game based on the graphic novel version of The Walking Dead.

The fifth episode’s release is projected to be soon after the fourth.

Inside Mac Games gives us some details on the features of the new game:

Features:

  • Based on Robert Kirkman’s Eisner-Award winning comic book series, The Walking Dead allows gamers to experience the true horror of the zombie apocalypse
  • A tailored game experience – Live with the profound and lasting consequences of the decisions that you make in each episode. Your actions and choices will affect how your story plays out across the entire series.
  • Experience events, meet people and visit locations that foreshadow the story of Deputy Sheriff Rick Grimes
  • Meet Glenn before he heads to Atlanta, explore Hershel’s farm before Rick and his group of survivors arrive and before the barn becomes a notorious location in Walking Dead lore
  • You’ll be forced to make decisions that are not only difficult, but that will require you to make an almost immediate choice. There’s no time to ponder when the undead are pounding the door down!
  • An Adventure Horror game of 5 monthly episodes. Features meaningful decision-making, exploration, problem solving and a constant fight for survival in a world overrun by the undead
  • Artwork inspired by the original comic books

The five episodes include “A New Day,” “Staved for Help,” “Long Road Ahead,” “Around Every Corner” (the newest episode release), and “No Time Left” (release date TBD).
