When Telltale Gamesā PR director teased a surprise announcement via Twitter yesterday, my fellow Kotaku writers and I compiled a list of potential game reveals. Nowhere on that list was a The Walking Dead pinball table from Zen Studios.
Thatās not to say I am not pleased with the reveal. Iām a huge fan of Zenās various pinball platforms, now available everywhere games are played, and I particularly enjoy when the studio flexes their table crafting talent on existing video game properties. Just look at this beautiful beast.
The table is a pinball interpretation of the first season of Telltaleās award winning adventure game series, following the journey of Lee and Clementine as they go from one place to the next, attempting to avoid being eat or dragged down by other humans. Like the series, the table will feature choice-driven gameplay thatās sure to be memorable, if you know what I mean.
āZen knocked it out of the park with their interpretation Telltaleās first season of The Walking Dead as a pinball table,ā said Steve Allison, SVP of Publishing at Telltale Games via press release. āPlayers once again get to step into the shoes of Lee Everett and protect Clementine as all the major events of season one play a role in the first ever pinball game that features choice and consequence gameplay.ā
The Walking Dead Pinball is coming to all Zen Studiosā pinball platforms this summer, but first itās making a playable appearance next week at E3 2014.
Super excited about a surprise announcement tomorrow. Not a new series or episode, but playable at E3. Fans are going to flip! š
