Telltale’s ‘The Walking Dead’ Game Gets A Badass Collector’s Edition!

I’m sure I don’t need to give Telltale’s version of The Walking Dead any introduction: we post about it so much you’d think we were on Telltale’s payroll (we’re not). The game is simply an incredible experience, and at this point in 2012, is my game of the year.

The Walking Dead is of course an episodic, downloadable title. Downloadable doesn’t work for everyone though. Maybe you’re afraid of online purchases (what year is it again?), or maybe you just want a physical disc that you can carry with you through the apocalypse. In any case, Telltale’s got you covered.

We reported back in September that the game was set to get a physical rendition, and today IGN made that fact even cooler. The Walking Dead will get a great looking collector’s edition, set to launch on December 4th. The package will include the following:

-The Walking Dead game featuring all five episodes
-The Walking Dead: Compendium One (collects the first 48 issues of the source material, -featuring exclusive art by Charlie Adlard)
-Collector’s box featuring exclusive Charlie Adlard art

This edition will be exclusive to GameStop, and Telltale noted that it will be in extremely limited quantities. It’s also pre-order only, so you won’t see it on the shelves after the fact. The game will also get a standard edition for a cool $29.99.

If you haven’t yet played the game, and were planning to wait for the physical edition, you should head to GameStop and get your name down for this bundle. Also, feel free to check out our reviews for the already released episodes (though not until you’ve played the game)! You can find them here, here, here, and here.

What do you think of the game? Planning on picking up the physical edition?
