Telltale Games answered some questions about Michonne (potential spoilers ahead), with the answers below:
- No, old save files aren’t needed to play Michonne. No experience playing/reading/watching
#TWD needed either!- Nope [there won’t be references to the past two seasons]. This is a story that stands apart from Lee & Clem’s, and a great place to start with Michonne’s.
- Prior reading of
#TWD comics is NOT required at all to enjoy and play Michonne. Comics are badass though!- Michonne will not be dying in this miniseries. Story explores her inner demons that drove her away from Rick and what brought her back.
- Trust us. [Michonne not dying is] not a spoiler. Also, in this universe, never rule out a fate worse than death.
- Michonne will bring the stories of the comic and the Telltale series closer together.
- Telltale exists in the comic universe canon, while both are separate from the AMC continuum.
Will you be playing Michonne this week?
