The Walking Dead for iOS delayed until summer – releases trailer to hold you over

Back in March, game developer Telltale Games announced that its upcoming project, The Walk Dead: The Game, would see its first release on Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, PC, Mac, and iOS in April.

The adventure horror game is set to be released as a 5 part series that introduces new characters, but parallels the timeline set in the comics while introducing the player to people and locations that foreshadow the story of Deputy Sheriff Rick Grimes.

Unfortunately you and your iPad won’t be handing out zombie beat downs as you attempt to survive the apocalypse this month. While Telltale hasn’t published a definitive release date for iOS, the goal is that it will hit the App Store this summer.

While most of the previous content released about this game were just teasers, Telltale has released a story trailer that gives us some insight into some of the characters and the storyline. Since this is zombies we’re talking about, please be aware that the content may not be appropriate for some viewers or workplaces.

WP7 needs to get better games there XBOX live games f--king suck. I mean you would think even though WP7 doesn't do as well, they would try and get some games that resembled console versions. Imagine integrating Achievements from dead space on your windows phone with your Xbox game to unlock no DLC or something. I mean honestly this is a missed opportunity on MS part. Case and Point ios just got MvC 2 and what does WP7 have Fruit Ninja???? I hope Microsoft can at least steal some of the developers away to make some awesome exclusive games. Unfortunately that's wishful thinking.

I'm still hoping it comes to the PlayBook. AMC already released a comic type version of the beginning of how this story starts which might be a good sign. (its called Walking Dead: Dead Reckoning) Wouldn't it be something if it hit the PlayBook before iOS haha. That would be a 1st.

It would if Netflix would give us the app already. Seen many reasons as to why this hasn't happened yet. Most believable is that the PlayBook software isn't complete enough yet. (cascades for example) oh well beaten to death already. Meaning time there is always Amazon Prime, and a variety of other places to stream video, even legally. :)
