Season 2

**Season 2**, retitled **The Walking Dead: Season Two**, is the second set of episodes for Telltale Games' award-winning *The Walking Dead* and the successor of Season 1. It was confirmed by Telltale Games in July 2012, due to the big success of the game.

Your choices made in Season 1 and the "400 Days" DLC will affect the decisions in Season 2. Although "400 Days" is not a direct part of the story thread joining Seasons 1 and 2, the player's actions in "400 Days" will affect some elements of Season 2. If you haven’t played "400 Days", the elements that would have been affected will be seamlessly pre-determined by the game.

The first episode was released on December 17, 2013 for PC/Mac via Steam and PlayStation Network, and on December 18th for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network Europe and iOS. It was also released for PlayStation Vita on April 22, 2014 in North America and on April 23rd in Europe.

A retail disc version of Season 2 was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as well as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on October 21, 2014 in North America and on October 31, 2014 in Europe.

A version of Season 2 was released for the Nintendo Switch on January 21, 2020.

## Synopsis

*The Walking Dead: Season Two, a five-part game series that continues the story of Clementine, a young girl orphaned by the undead apocalypse. Left to fend for herself, she has been forced to learn how to survive in a world gone mad.*

*Many months have passed since the events seen in Season One of The Walking Dead, and Clementine is searching for safety. But what can an ordinary child do to stay alive when the living can be just as bad – and sometimes worse – than the dead?*

*As Clementine, you will be tested by situations and dilemmas that will test your morals and your instinct for survival. Your decisions and actions will change the story around you, in this sequel to 2012’s Game of the Year.*

## Trivia

* This season features Clementine as the playable protagonist.
* Even though Lee Everett no longer appears in the Video Game as of "No Time Left", his voice is still provided for the "Previously On" segments.
* Writer Gary Whitta said prior to the 2013 E3 event that fans "[wouldn't] have to wait for Season 2 to play more *Walking Dead*". This was hinting towards the "400 Days" DLC.
* In a Skybound Community Interview with Dennis Lenart and Mark Darin, it was confirmed that some characters from Season 1 and "400 Days" would appear in Season 2.
	+ This season features the return of Omid, Christa, Roman (as a corpse only), Kenny, Bonnie, Tavia, and determinately Vince, Wyatt, Russell, Shel and Becca.
* Telltale Games posted three short teaser clips of Season 2 on Vine via Twitter on a daily basis before releasing the official trailer for the first episode, "All That Remains". They also released a teaser clip for the season finale, "No Going Back", before releasing the trailer for it via Vine.
	+ The first teaser showed Clementine looking at the torn photo of Lee Everett from "A New Day".
	+ The second teaser showed Luke sitting on a couch with Rebecca standing beside him.
	+ The third teaser showed Clementine with a bloody face looking in the direction of the cabin.
	+ The final teaser for "No Going Back" showed Clementine walking through a snowstorm with an unnerving tune playing in the background.
		- The tune was taken from a traditional folk song, "My Darling Clementine".
* The music played on the main menu is the same from Season 1 "No Time Left" played during Lee and Clementine's final conversation together.
* Clementine, Edith and Alvin Jr. were the only confirmed survivors of the season, regardless of player choices.
	+ Between Kenny and Jane, only one can possibly survive depending on Clementine's choices.
		- Yet it is not a given that one must survive; a few endings of the game include both of their deaths.
* During the earlier development for this season, the writers considered two major set pieces that didn't make it to the final cut of the season. A nuclear power station, and a marauding tiger.
	+ When the writers are asked about whether the tiger was supposed to be Shiva, the writers declined this, and said that the idea of adding the tiger to the story was something they had come up with before both Ezekiel and Shiva appear in the comic series, and the reason why they eventually scrapped it out was because they didn't think it was realistic enough to be put into the story.
* Gavin Hammon revealed during his Q&A panel at OMG!Con 2015, that the early development made by Telltale that was given to him, Kenny was supposed to be the antagonist character for the second season. He added that, "He was gonna be the Carver character" but eventually Telltale scrapped the idea out, and replaced him with Carver instead.
* For the PS3 version of the game, episodes "A House Divided" through "No Going Back" are purchased as add-ons to the official game.
	+ Therefore, there is no platinum trophy for the completion of the game.
* Before Michael Madsen joined the cast to portray William Carver, Carver's role was smaller. Telltale eventually decided to make his role bigger by expanding his role after Madsen joined the cast, adding more dialogues about his rules, and philosophy to make him a stronger and primary source of the problems at the Howe's Hardware community.
* Sam, the dog that appears in the first episode, was named after Sam from Telltale's *Sam and Max* series.
* This game introduces a new feature which A New Frontier had, that allows the player to move faster at select times while holding down another button.
	+ Though this is played only in The Collection version.
* Originally, one of the possible endings players could get would see Clemenine walking through a blizzard with AJ in her arms. She would see a light in the distance but, weakened by hypothermia, would find it increasingly difficult to carry AJ. She would eventually have to make a choice whether to abandon AJ and continue or sit down in the snow and presumably freeze to death. This ending was scrapped for being too dark.
	+ The developers also revealed that they had made all of the branching endings to the season because they had not known that there would be a third season made. The flashback scenes in the third season were made to quickly resolve the multiple endings and treat them as one.
