While we patiently wait the release of the highly anticipated final chapter in Telltale’s The Walking Dead episodic adventure series, Telltale has released a short but playable demo featuring the first 15 minutes of the first episode. The demo is available to download now on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Or if you prefer, you can simply watch it play out in the video above.

The first episode The Walking Dead: The Final Season is out August 14 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It’s coming to Switch later this year.

The brief demo was originally shown at San Diego Comic-Con last month. It shows off the new Graphic Black art style, updated combat system, and improved camera controls. For the first time the series will include unscripted combat encounters and an over-the-shoulder camera system to provide a greater level of immersion.

The Final Season stars series protagonist Clementine in an interesting role reversal from the first season – now she’s the hardened, veteran survivor protecting a young kid in the zombie apocalypse. AJ will learn from Clementine’s actions, ultimately defining the kind of person he will become.

The Walking Dead: The Final Season is available for pre-order for $19.99, which includes all four episodes (once they’re available). Pre-ordering on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One also grants The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series Collection, which includes all 19 previously released The Walking Dead episodes.

The Walking Dead: The Final Season is out August 14 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (later this year on Switch). It’s rated M for Mature.
