The Walking Dead [Game of the Year]

Players who bought the pack received the first episode when it was released in April and then the next four as they became available up to the release final episode in November of the same year.

Once all are installed, any episode can be played right away, but as certain choices are carried over, it is recommended to play them in a chronological order.

For the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions each episode was released as a separate expansion but the first episode needs to be purchased to play any of the other four.

The PS3 version also offers a season pass to purchase all episodes right away at a lower price and play them as they become available.

For iOS the first episode needs to be bought and then the other four episodes are available as in-app purchases, either individually or as multipack for the four remaining ones at a lower price.

In December 2012 the full season was released as a single retail game for the Xbox 360 and the PS3, in the same format as the PC version.

The Windows retail version was released in May 2013.

Each episode consists of eight chapters.

The five episodes are: The Walking Dead: Episode 1 - A New Day The Walking Dead: Episode 2 - Starved for Help The Walking Dead: Episode 3 - Long Road Ahead The Walking Dead: Episode 4 - Around Every Corner The Walking Dead: Episode 5 - No Time Left The game is set in the United States at the start of a zombie outbreak.
