The wait is over. The Walking Dead: The Game Episode 2 is coming this week. Yes, in a bit of last minute news, Episode 2: "Starving For Help" will land on Xbox Live tomorrow. PC and PS3 versions of the second of five downloadable episodes will arrive on Friday. Those dates are international with the exception of PS3; European PS3 users will have their own date to be announced later.

Developer Telltale Games just makes it in the "June" release window the creators targeted back in May. A company spokesperson said the announcement of the dates comes so late because Telltale had to wait "until all of their platform partners confirmed their publishing schedules."

Why the hell did we have to wait so long?

EDIT- I'm an idiot for not reading the whole thing. Ugh.

[monsterfracas]

Is there any way I can buy a "Season Pass" for these or something?

[Live Free or Die]

Wish it was today but, oh well, I can wait till Friday. :D

Is there any way I can buy a "Season Pass" for these or something?

There should be. I know on PSN there is a season pass for $20.

[bumpkin]

Why the hell did we have to wait so long?

This is what I'd like to know. Happy that it's finally on the way and all, but it has been an agonizing wait!

[SamuraiX-]

Nice!

Can't wait.

[Derrick01]

Fucking finally. Still a little upset I have to wait until Friday instead of it coming today but hey at least it's going to make June after all.

[DieH@rd]

Episodic gaming = waiting.

[Struct09]

YES!

[Attackthebase]

It's about time. I cannot wait to complete this episode on Friday.

[Deadly Cyclone]

First episode is fantastic so far. I need to finish it before this though.

[bigDdestruction]

excellent. looking forward to episode 2. I assume if you have the season pass on steam, it'll just download episode 2 automatically??

[Weenerz]

Why does PC have to wait until Friday?

[monsterfracas]

There should be. I know on PSN there is a season pass for $20.

Just checked the XBL marketplace, no season pass. That's so lame

[Derrick01]

Episodic gaming = waiting.

This is my first experience with this method of selling a game and I can't say I'm too pleased with it. It backs up my sell me a complete game stance I've had.

Not talking about the quality of the episodes as 1 was pretty damn good. Just the release portion.

[GeoramA]

I forgot what all my ep 1 choices were :lol

Pretty lame that we had to wait this long.

[HixxSAFC]

Finally! Bought episode 1 as a bit of an impulse buy with some left over points and loved it.

[fernoca]

Well, out of nowhere..but I'm there.

[Reluctant-Hero]

Hell yes! Loved the first episode on PS3. Looking forward to finding a way to leave that old man for dead. Who the hell is he to tell Lee to stay away from daughter?!

[Dave1988]

And Euro PS3 owners have to wait even LONGER? WTF is this shit?!

[Emerson]

.

The question being asked is not why the announcement is so late, but why the game took so long.

I'm not concerned about it personally, but just clarifying.

[Gustav]

Huh? Is it up or what?

[MikeDub]

And Euro PS3 owners have to wait even LONGER? WTF is this shit?!

They have to, you know, ship it over here first.

[Dave1988]

They have to, you know, ship it over here first.

Oh lol.

[Live Free or Die]

Just checked the XBL marketplace, no season pass. That's so lame

Wow, that is weird. I just checked the PS Store just to make sure I wasn't seeing things lol, and there is a "The Walking Dead Season Pass (Episodes 1-5) for $19.99".

[Roto13]

Since when do things get added to the PSN Store on Friday?

EDIT: 360 doesn't have a season pass because of some bullshit Xbox reason I forget the specifics about.

Conversely, Steam only has a season pass.

I thought the entire point of making a platform and not have each episode be its own stand alone release was to avoid that shit in the first place, no?

[Attackthebase]

Hell yes! Loved the first episode on PS3. Looking forward to finding a way to leave that old man for dead. Who the hell is he to tell Lee to stay away from daughter?!

Take pictures of Lee doing the deed with his daughter. Show it to her father, then push him to a zombie hoard while the player grins at the outcome.

OMG YES!!!

It's that same thing with COD maps. They always put them up on Thursday or Fridays.

[Fixed1979]

Gary hinted that there would be a "Previously on the Walking dead" with your choices...I'm not sure if he was serious though as he didn't clarify. I really hope so.

Call of Duty is the only thing I can think of that updates on not Tuesday.

Xbox Live doesn't have the season pass, PS3 and Steam do.

[megalowho]

Happy it's finally on it's way, but that reason doesn't fill me with hope that this delay was a one time thing.

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Dang man... They are like two months late :l happy to finally see where things are headed at least. Been looking forward to this for what feels like forever now

[SuperSonic1305]

What the hell is this Friday BS?

[Carl]

European PS3 users will have their own date to be announced later.

LOL WOOHOO

[Killthee]

SOE has been doing something similar for the last couple of DC Universe Online updates. They patch the DLC content into the game before the release date and then they just server side unlock it on release date for subscribers (usually on a Thursday). If you're not subscribed you have to wait till the following Store update on Tuesday to purchase the unlock license or bite the bullet and sub for instant access. I'm wondering if TellTale will be doing something similar to this for Walking Dead episodes and season pass owners.

[WoodenLung]

Finally, been waiting for this.

[Trigger]

I'm excited.

[Kinyou]

I was afraid that we'd have to wait another month.

European PS3 users will have their own date to be announced later.

Wait what?

[The Wizard]

Yes, can't wait :D

[Atruvius]

European PS3 users get the cock shaft slammed at their face yet again. Maybe we'll get Episode 3 by December.

Read the Walking Dead Compendium a while ago in anticipation of the second episode so tge even longer wait for us euros is really bumming me out. I just want more WD. :(

[Killthee]

Wait what?

Guessing they haven't been given a date by SCEE QA.

[Figboy79]

Bought the Season pass back when Episode 1 released, been eagerly awaiting Episode 2.

Me and my wife have really enjoyed it so far. I'm digging the art style and the game play. The characters are also really well done.

This will give me something new to play on Friday, since I've already beat Gravity Rush and finally finished Catherine last night.

[boingball]

Wow, they are delivering it just in time... Seems, they are trying to learn from Sega on how to do episodic gaming successfully. Try to have as large a gap as possible between the episodes. Episode 3 wont come in 2012 most likely then.

I am also sceptical whether we will get the 2nd episode on Friday on PSN... The SCEA team has to do an extra shift for this special release and they will most likely screw it up somehow.

[Ash Sparrow]

YES

[MadmanUK]

Still waiting for iOS.
