Video game developer Telltale Games has revealed that it will launch the third episode of its The Walking Dead episodic series today and has also delivered a launch trailer to show players what they can expect from the new installment.

The third episode is called Long Road Ahead and can be played on the PC, where it can be obtained via digital distribution, and on the PlayStation Network and the Xbox Live Arcade.

Gamers outside the United States will have to wait on the new Walking Dead title for a while more as Sony Computer Entertainment Europe commits to its own launch date.

The Walking Dead started life as an acclaimed comic book, with its fan base praising the strength of its storytelling and the solid characterization.

Since then the universe has also spawned a television series that has so far done well on AMC and the Telltale Games created video game, which is using a different main character.
