Telltale Games: The Walking Dead Season 2 will use your Season 1 save file

Read our full The Walking Dead: Season 2 review.

Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead has been a massive hit for the company. After years of working on vintage franchises like Sam & Max, cult adventures like Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People, and licensed fan service like Back to the Future, The Walking Dead is the game’s that’s propelled Telltale into the upper echelon of game developers. Myriad game of the year awards, near perfect reviews and 8.5 million episodes sold; it’s no wonder that the studio is already working on the next “season” of the game. Telltale’s only now starting to shed light on what’s next for the series, but one thing’s for sure: It’s working hard on figuring out how to carry players’ progress from one season to the next.

“Right now we are just starting to form the concept for season two,” Telltale CEO Dan Connors told Red Bull in a Friday interview, “This all remains to be seen but we are definitely figuring out how to carry the saves over.”

Those that have finished the first series are likely very curious to discover how their changes are reflected in the new episodes.

The best Skill Cards in Dead Island 2
A deck of skill cards.

You may not think a first-person game about bashing zombies with all sorts of melee weapons would be an RPG, but Dead Island 2 is a little deceptive like that. Each of the six playable Slayers has its own base stats, but once you've selected them, there's not much else to worry about in that regard. What will really define your build is the Skill Cards. These act as a mixture of abilities and buffs you can slot into your character, but unlike a traditional skill tree where you simply unlock new skills as you go, cards can be swapped in and out whenever you like. While that's great for versatility, the sheer number of cards can make creating an effective build more intimidating than a swarm of flesh-eaters. Before you take on the horrors of Hell-A, take a look at the best Skill Cards in Dead Island 2.

It isn't a full-on loot game, but Dead Island 2 does have its fair share of rare and powerful weapons to collect. There are random drops and blunt objects you'll pick up off the ground, but the best of the best are going to be the Legendary weapons. If you're a fan of the more lightweight, fast-attacking weapon types, then the Blood Rage dagger is one you'll certainly want to get your hands on. You won't find this Legendary dagger just laying around, though. Here's how to get the Blood Rage in Dead Island 2.
