The Walking Dead: 400 Days tells new stories of survival through the eyes of five new characters.

Featuring hybrid touch controls unique to PS Vita, fans can now take the apocalypse on the road and enjoy the entirety of Season One in one package.

“400 Days offers excellent connective tissue between Seasons One and Two, but stands as an excellent anthology of Walking Dead stories in its own right,” said Dan Connors, Co-Founder and CEO of Telltale Games. “We’re excited to give fans an opportunity to see more of Robert Kirkman’s world, and live with more edge-of-your-seat choice and consequence as we head towards Season Two, coming later this year.”
