Coinciding with the hotly anticipated return of AMC’s The Walking Dead for its back half of season 6, Telltale has released the first 6 minutes of the upcoming Michonne mini series. Staring Samira Wiley (Orange is the New Black) as the voice of Michonne, the game will deal largely with Michonne’s disappearance for over 10 issues in the Walking Dead comics before her recent return.
The mini series should give us a deeper look into the character, whose background has still remained fairly mysterious despite first appearing way back in issue 19.
The Walking Dead: Michonne will consist of 3 episodes, and will release later this month on the 23rd for Playstation 4 and Xbox One and two days later on the 25th for iOS and Android. PC users will see their version delivered on March 1st.
The Walking Dead‘s season 6b will be airing Sundays at 9pm on AMC.

Players will dive into the mind of Michonne to discover what took her away from Rick, Carl, and the rest of her trusted group… and what brought her back.In this premiere episode, ‘In Too Deep,’ Michonne joins Pete and his crew on the sailing ship The Companion as they cruise the coast for survivors and supplies. When a desperate signal for help draws them to a scene of horrific massacre, Michonne and the crew are lead further to the floating survivors’ colony of Monroe, which may just be harboring the person responsible for the carnage.
