Is The Walking Dead retail available outside North America?

[LukeThePlatypus]

I was wondering if there is word on the release date for the disk version of the game (PS3) within the UK, also, would the collectors edition be released here too?

[ZacTB]

Just wondering, probably won't get it straight away but eventually.

[MattP]

Unfortunately we are not currently planning a retail release outside of North America.

[LukeThePlatypus]

Then do you know if the game is region free?

[CheeseOfDeath]

Is The Walking Dead retail available in Ireland? Just wondering because I'm thinking of getting all 5 episodes on XBLA but I'd rather the disc.

[DatDude]

Seriously?

This game is recieving incredible acclaim, alot of people are seriously interested in playing this after the recent goty awards and whatnot...now a retail version comes..not only is the collectors edition limited to 5,000 units in North America...ur not even sending retail copies to Europe, or Asia..what gives telltale?

Yeah, they're too small.

[notoriousmercy]

And they will stay small if they ignore big markets.

[Torby]

Yeah,big markets like Spain or France.

Germany better not...they will censor the game like they did with dead island 2

[CarScar]

Why is this in the "The Walking Dead Story Discussion - SPOILERS" section?

*gasp* Someone moved it!

[corruptbiggins]

Because Telltale are primarily a developer not a publisher. They've managed to do a bit of local (ie NA) retail self publishing but they would need an external publisher for other regions.

[dubesor]

they are an indie company fyi..

[MattP]

The game is being distributed as BLU US only. I cannot say whether or not it will run on a European PS3, as it's formatted for North American consoles only.

Telltale is a company from the United States and it is only a publisher in North America. Remember, that at the moment, Telltale is still a relatively small company, employing only around 120 employees. It's still hard for them to co-ordinate worldwide releases, especially with physical products since they have to go through external publishers.

[Saracenar]

It's out in NA initially. They do have plans to distribute it elsewhere. See this:

They have plans. Big plans.

Okay, I have no idea. I just really wanted to say that.

Actually, the PS3 is by standard regionfree. However, there is the possibilty to region lock the game, if the Publisher/Developer wants to do so. In 6 years, this has only happend once and that was recently: Persona 4 Arena.

[LukeThePlatypus]

See now i'm really tempted to buy the collectors edition with the comics, but don't want it to get here and it be a waste

As mentioned before, with all of the recent awards and as a definite game of the year, I can't see why they wouldn't release it outiside of US. Big step for the company, and we get to play an incredible game.
