Walking Dead GOTY Edition official, over 21 million episodes sold

A Game of the Year Edition of The Walking Dead is due in North America sometime next month, not that it's much surprise after it was rated and listed by retailers this month. To recap, then, the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC compilation includes the first season's five episodes, the 400 Days DLC released this summer, the soundtrack and a behind-the-scenes video, bundled together at a price of $30.

The official word comes as part of today's Season 2 reveal, as does a new sales tidbit: Telltale's graphic adventure series is now past the 21 million mark for individual episode sales. The new figure likely includes the 400 Days episode, given the series was at 17 million-plus back in June when it was revealed. In any case, what really matters is that a whole lot of people saw a whole lot of other people get eaten.

Second Season of the Award-Winning Series Officially Unveiled; Season One 'Game of the Year Edition' Heading to Retail Stores this November
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Oct. 29th, 2013 -- Leading publisher of digital entertainment Telltale Games and Robert Kirkman, the Eisner Award-winning creator and writer of The Walking Dead for his Skybound imprint at Image Comics, have officially revealed The Walking Dead: Season Two – A Telltale Games Series, which is now available for pre-order on PC/Mac via the Telltale Games Online Store as well as Steam.

The Walking Dead: Season Two – A Telltale Games Series will continue the story of Clementine, a young girl orphaned at the outset of the undead apocalypse, now left to her own devices to seek safety and survive in a world gone mad. Now assuming the role of an ordinary child, players will struggle to outwit both the dead and the living in situations that will test their morals and control the flow of the story through their decisions and actions.
