And I think for the purposes of comparison to The Walking Dead, we must discount fantasy games, as they fall into a long tradition of young chosen heroes at the forefront of narrative.īut even when we do look at these examples, Clementine is unique in that she is still very much a child.
#Clementine season 2 series#
But outside of young heroes in games like the Final Fantasy series and The Legend of Zelda (and childhood moments in games like Beyond: Two Souls), the young are often secondary, companion characters who may sometimes step into lead roles (as with The Last of Us), only to give them up again when older characters return or are rescued. Young characters are becoming more and more common these days, with the rise of game-parenting in particular, a trend Season One perpetuated by tasking players with taking care of Clementine while in Lee’s shoes. But why all the fuss about dates and timelines? Because our young protagonist is not only running solo in the apocalypse… she’s also stepping into history as a pre-teen game protagonist in a semi-realistic world of hyperviolence, something we simply don’t often see in video games. Telltale has confirmed that player actions taken during 400 days will have an impact on Season Two, but considering that some of those events run concurrent to those in Season One, that may only impact the world solo Clem encounters during her adventures. Season One takes places over the course of several months (just under four months, according to some), and Clem ages from eight to nine during that period, so if Season Two picks up after the events of the DLC 400 Days, at most our Clementine will be almost ten. There’s been no confirmation yet on the timeline for the new episodes, so we may pick up with Clem anywhere from right after the events of Season One to a slightly older, wiser Clem who has been surviving the apocalypse for some time. Last week, Telltale Games finally confirmed what many of us have suspected–or hoped–since we wrapped Season One of The Walking Dead: Season Two will follow Clementine in a post-Lee apocalypse.
