NEWS: The Walking Dead - Game of the Year Edition Highly Possible

Just as the latest season starts of AMC's The Walking Dead, a special GOTY edition of the episodes becomes a huge possibility.


The ESRB (The Entertainment Software Ratings Board) have listed a Game of the Year (GOTY) edition of The Walking Dead - the episodic narrative following Lee Everett and his experiences during the outbreak.

It's safe to assume this particular version will include all five episodes, along with the 400 days DLC.
According to the ESRB website, the GOTY edition will be available on Macintosh, Windows PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

Although the PS Vita already has access to a package containing all of the content mentioned earlier, so it wouldn't be too suprising to see a release on Ios/Android devices.

In relation to The Walking Dead game, Telltale games announced earlier this year season 2 would be released sometime during Autumn 2013.
