As "The Walking Dead" goes into its winter hiatus, fans will have season 2 of the popular Telltale game to tide them over, with a release date for December 18!

The sequel to the critically and commercially acclaimed Telltale game based on the popular AMC series, Episode 1: All That Remains will drop on Xbox Live, PC, Mac, and iOS.

Although very little is known about The Walking Dead Telltale season 2, expect a slightly older Clementine and the rest of the episodes to follow soon.

More than likely, a release date for The Walking Dead Telltale season 2 will be announced for the PSN, PS Vita, and possibly next-gen consoles as well.

Reportedly, The Walking Dead Telltale season 2 can be purchased in full with a season pass of $15, which will be accessible on the December 18 release date. Purchasing Episode 1: All That Remains can be done at $5.

No doubt "The Walking Dead" fans will find this a welcome reprieve from the AMC series, which ended on a cliffhanger which included the death of major character Hershel Greene.

According to Zap2it, fans will see the return of both Hershel and Carol in "The Walking Dead" season 4b.

Although Hershel will appear in flashbacks according to executive producer Gale Anne Hurd, Carol "will definitely return before the end of the season."

So while you wait until February for the fate of your beloved character, be sure to play The Walking Dead Telltale season 2 Episode 1 to pass the time!
