12 Things We Learned At The Game Awards 2016

Telltale unveiled an extended first look at the upcoming third season of their hugely successful Walking Dead series, which introduces new protagonist Javier, who suffers a personal tragedy and ends up meeting up with franchise icon Clementine.

The real surprise, though, was the announcement that because the series' first episode ended up being much larger than expected, it was expanded into two episodes, both of which will be released on December 20th.

It's awesome news for those who get routinely frustrated with Telltale's sometimes-erratic release cycles, or simply don't want to wait another 4-8 weeks to play the next part. Christmas has indeed come early.
