Robert Kirkman talks about THE WALKING DEAD Season 2 and the Video Game
In a recent interview with IGN The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman talks about the new video game being developed and gives us a little taste of what he's looking to do for season two of the TV series.
Yesterday it was announced that Telltale games is going to develop a episodic zombie adventure game. There really isn't much information on the game yet, Kirkman goes on to explain that it's in the very early stages and they are mapping out the details and story right now.
[It's] definitely within the comic book world, just like the novel series, [and] it's definitely episodic.
Kirkman then goes on to talk about the second season of the TV series on AMC. He promises fans that they can look forward to seeing more from the comic books finding their way in the the weekly episodes.
For the most part, it will be circling back around [to the comics] but, like the entirety of the first season, there will always be divergences from the comic story to keep people on their toes.
I never had a problem with the changes that were made. In fact I liked them because I had no idea what to expect. I never really heard any complaints from the first season of the show until after it ended, then fan seemed to turn on it for some reason, but I thought is was awesome!
Kirkman says that he would like to see the characters Michonne, Tyrese and Hershel make it into the second season, then admits,
Whether or not we'll get to all of them in [Season Two] is up in the air. I'm looking forward to most every comic book character making it into the show, but I'm excited to see who we actually do get to.
He doesn't really reveal many more details, but he is already working with recently hired executive writing producer Glen Mazzara.
I've been working closely with Glen for a week now, and you're going to have to wait for any details, because I can't reveal anything right now.
For those of you eagerly anticipating the return of the series, go out and read the comics if you haven't already to keep yourself occupied. If you are reading them then I guess you'll just have to be patient and wait.
