The Walking Dead Story Builder creates save games for the Final Season

Telltale Games have released the Story Builder tool ahead of the release of The Walking Dead: The Final Season. The tool allows players to remake decisions from previous games and import that save into the Final Season. As the Walking Dead series is built on branching narratives, this tool is very useful. While it is currently available online, PC Gamer are reporting it will be in the game too. With a simple design, the tool shows a slideshow of important scenes in the series, allowing players to make crucial choices. However, the tool isn't designed for newcomers to the series, as an understanding of the plot is essential to using it. Given that The Walking Dead: Season 1 came out in 2012, the tool also acts as a refresher course for significant events in the narrative.

The Story Builder tool uses players Telltale Games' accounts, meaning they will have to link their account in the Story Builder with their game. While importing a save is almost necessary for the Final Season, players can simply import the save they have used all series, assuming they still have it. As the series has moved hardware platforms in the past six years, it is likely that console players will have to rely on the Story Builder tool.
