Telltale Games has released a new trailer to mark the release of the first episode of The Walking Dead game.

Telltale Games today released an all-new trailer to mark the release of the first episode of The Walking Dead game based on the popular comic book series.

Players can download the first episode on PlayStation Network, PC and Mac, and will release very soon on Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

Episode one, 'A New Day' and the following four episodes deliver an experience tailored by the decisions that each player makes, leading to multiple paths through the story. Players take on the role of Lee Everett, a man convicted of murder, now given newfound freedom and a chance at redemption in a world devastated by the undead. Life or death situations will force the player to explore the darker sides of human nature, and they will meet familiar characters and visit locations from the world created by Robert Kirkman, foreshadowing the story of Deputy Sheriff Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead comics.

The first episode will sell for 400 Microsoft Points on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, $4.99 on PlayStation Network and on PC and Mac as a season pass covering all five episodes for $24.99.

The PC or Mac is available via Telltale's Online Store and via Steam, as well as other digital distribution services. 

Telltale plans to release The Walking Dead for Apple's iOS platform later this summer.
