The word is out! The eagerly awaited second episode of Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead is coming to PSN this Friday, June 29th. To mark the occasion, we put Director Dennis Lenart and Lead Cinematic Artist Nick Herman from Telltale on the hotseat: We talk new (old?) characters, unresolved tensions, the game’s expanding scale, and the challenges of episodic game development. If you’re wondering what dark terrain this five-part series will explore in coming episodes, don’t miss our in-depth discussion.

We also share first details on PSN’s upcoming Summer Sale, which grants deep discounts to a collection of PlayStation Store favorites starting Tuesday. And, of course, the first details on next week’s PSN game lineup, a slew of new user questions and tips, and what Nick promises to be a frightfully hard new Mystery Theme. Listen in and let us know what you think!
