During the E3, 2016 TellTale Games released a short teaser trailer for "The Walking Dead: Season Three," the third season of their popular point-and-click adventure games set in the world of Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead." During this recent San Diego Comic Con, the developers have shared new images, a poster and more story details.

The information has also been shared on the game's official website where it is confirmed that Clementine will return as the main character but this time she is now an older teenager. AJ, Rebecca's son from "The Walking Dead: Season Two," is returning as well but is now a young boy instead of an infant as originally introduced. 

It is further revealed that players will not just be playing as Clementine but also as her new ally, Javier, who is primarily focused on keeping his family alive. Very little is known about Javier at this point but the reports state that it is through his eyes that newcomers will get to know more about Clementine.

According to Screen Rant, the game is designed so that newcomers can instantly jump in even without having played the first two games. Those that did play "Season One," "400 Days" and "Season Two" will get more out of the experience as their decisions in the older games will affect the story progression of "Season Three."

Released alongside the game details and story are a few select images and a brand new poster. The images showcase Clementine with AJ and then another shows Clementine and Javier as they explore what appears to be a slaughterhouse. 

The poster is reportedly designed to be reminiscent of the original poster for "Season One," which was shown during the San Diego Comic Con of 2011. However, this time Clementine no longer needs protection and someone to hold her hand as the poster for "Season Three" depicts her walking side by side with Javier, a gun firmly in her hands. 

"The Walking Dead: Season Three" launches this fall.
