What has SCE's Japan Studio been up to? Well the countdown has finally ended and they've given us a rather curious trailer where everyone appears to be barcoded in a cell-shaded fantasy future.
It's a rather dystopic, albeit pretty to look at view of the world. There's lots of fighting, and monster things as well as totalitarian government forces at work. They didn't mention any platforms.

The Walking Dead was a phenomenal success for Telltale Games, but there other upcoming episodic adventure is based of DC Comics' Fables and it's a whole other beast. It's not as 'free' as the zombie world.
The team are constrained by the characters, unlike with Lee and Clem in The Walking Dead who were original creations. They keep the "in-the-moment choices" but also throw branching timelines at us.
