If the player fails these events, the game will restart at the start of such scenes. Other scenes are more action-oriented, requiring the player to complete quick time events to prevent the player-character or their allies from getting killed. Such choices can affect how the other characters will later react to the player-character which can influence later events in the story. Certain replies from other characters may offer the player multiple choices to select from, including the option to stay silent, with a limited amount of time to make the selection if the player does not select an option, the conversation will continue as if they had stayed quiet. The player can also initiate conversations with non-player characters via conversation trees. Players can direct the current character under their control around the environment, examine and interact with various scenery elements and collect and use objects to advance the story. In contrast to previous seasons, there will be two playable characters: Clementine, the heroine from the previous games and Javier, a new character introduced this season. Similar to the previous seasons, The Walking Dead: A New Frontier is a point-and-click adventure game. A fourth and final season, titled The Walking Dead: The Final Season, was released in August 2018. Unlike the first two seasons, the game received mixed reviews. In A New Frontier, Javi and Clementine must work together with other survivors to rescue their respective families from the eponymous group, which Clementine used to be a member of.

Clementine (voiced by Melissa Hutchison), who was the player's companion during the first season and the protagonist in season two, returns as a playable character, but the main protagonist of the season is an original character named Javier 'Javi' Garcia (voiced by Jeff Schine). The main characters of the game are mostly original characters however, due to time skips in season two and between seasons two and three, the timeline is caught up to where the comics are. The game takes place in the same fictional world as the comic, where a zombie apocalypse has caused society to collapse. The player choices recorded in save files from the first two seasons and the additional episode ' 400 Days' carry over into the third season. The game employs the same narrative structure as the past seasons, where player choice in one episode will have a permanent impact on future story elements. The first two episodes released on December 20, 2016, and a retail season pass disc edition released on February 7, 2017. It is the sequel to The Walking Dead: Season Two, and the third game in The Walking Dead series. The Walking Dead: A New Frontier is an episodic adventure video game based on The Walking Dead comic book series developed by Telltale Games.
