The Walking Dead is out June 26 for iOS devices and brings the well-received zombie horror survival title to iOS devices. It's been previewed already, so here are the details.

Since hand-drawn/cel-shaded art style is featured in The Walking Dead, the decreased graphical performance the iPad brings isn't an offset. Touch Arcade said the game is roughly similar to medium settings on Mac, but even at max settings the game doesn't look noticeably better. Of course there's the new iPad's Retina display providing a higher resolution. It's not known how the performance is on older iPads. Considering that the game isn't super demanding it probably won't be an issue.

The main difference is the new UI. Choices are presented in a 2x2 grid, and tapping on a dialogue choice selects the option. The non-iOS versions present the choices in a list, so it's nice Telltale Games - the developers - has made the game custom to the platform rather than simply porting the UI.

The rest of the UI is identical, basically: circular prompts to interact with the environment and enemies are available. A minor difference is swiping against s zombie attacking Lee Everett, the protagonist.

A virtual joystick is missing and it may seem like a strange choice considering exploration sections exist. A D-Pad in the top right-hand corner of the screen is available; however, the sections for exploration are usually limited to a fixed area. Also, platforming sections or run-and-gun shooting situations are not in place, at least not yet.

The game follows Everett, an apparent convict, as his journey to a prison hits a detour; however, since the game is only up to the second episode the characterization is still unclear. In the process, a zombie outbreak is encountered and the despair of humanity begins.

The game runs concurrently to the comic book series, the source material for the game, and the TV show of the same name.

The Walking Dead is a five-episode series, available to buy individually for $4.99 or collectively for $14.99. Episode 3 launches August, though Telltale Games hasn't announced a specific release date. The app connects to a server to update, presumably to deliver future episodes, on iOS.

With an episode a month, the conclusion to Telltale Games' mini-series should be around October.
