The Walking Dead – Season 2 Pre-Order FAQ
What do I get when I pre-order Season Two of The Walking Dead?
By pre-ordering the season, you will save 10% on the normal season price, and will qualify for the Collector’s Edition DVD, yours for the cost of shipping and handling. The Collector’s Edition DVD will be made available soon after the digital release of Episode 5 and will ONLY be available to those that pre-ordered the season from the Telltale Online Store.
The Collector’s Edition DVD is available for shipping and handling? No other costs?
Correct. If you pre-order the PC or Mac version of Season Two from the Telltale Online Store, the Collector’s DVD is yours for the price of shipping and handling.
When I pre-order, do I get to play the game immediately?
No, episode one is set for release later this year. You will be alerted by email when the first episode is ready to download. You will then receive further alerts on the launch of subsequent episodes.
When will episode one of Season Two be available to download?
Episode one will be available to download before Christmas, with subsequent episodes becoming available 4 – 6 weeks apart.
Can I buy Season Two in the shops?
No. Telltale is a ‘digital first’ company, so a retail version of Season Two will not be available until after all five episodes are available to download.
When I pre-order, do I get all 5 episodes at once?
No. A Season Pass gives you access to all five episodes of Season Two as they become available. Each episode is released periodically, usually between 4 and 6 weeks apart. You will be alerted via email when a new episode is available to download.
Does the pre-order offer, including the Collector’s DVD, extend to other games systems like Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3?
No, the pre-order offer is for PC and Mac versions only, and only through the Telltale Online Store. It’s our way of expressing our gratitude to you for shopping directly with Telltale.
Can I pre-order Season Two anywhere else?
Yes. You can pre-order the season for PC and Mac via Steam, but you will not be eligible for the Collector’s Edition DVD offer. You cannot pre-order for game systems other than PC and Mac.
Can I buy individual episodes?
Not for PC or Mac. However, other game systems will support individual episode purchase. Note that those games systems will require that episode one of the season is installed on your game system in order to play.
What other games systems will Season Two be available for?
In addition to PC and Mac, The Walking Dead: Season Two will be available for Xbox 360 from the Xbox Games Store and for PlayStation 3 from the PlayStation Store. It will also be available for compatible iOS devices from the App Store. Other platforms may be announced in the future.
Do I need to have played Season One of The Walking Dead to enjoy Season Two?
No, but we strongly recommend that you do. Season Two picks up where Season One ended, so the most rewarding experience will be had by playing Season One first. Remember that the decisions you made in Season One will affect your story in Season Two. Keep your save files!
Do I need to have played ‘400 Days’ to play Season Two?
Although 400 Days is not a direct part of the story thread joining Seasons One and Two, your actions in 400 Days will affect some elements of Season Two. If you haven’t played 400 Days, the elements that would have been affected will be seamlessly pre-determined by the game.
Will Season Two play in the same way as Season One?
For the most part, yes. However, there will be some changes based on player feedback to Season One and advances in game design. If you’ve played Season One, the experience will be familiar.
