Season 2 = The Far Flung Future?
It seems strange in terms of continuity and how it would fit in with 400 Days, but I have a feeling season 2 could take place at least a couple of years, maybe even decades, into the future.
Admittedly, this video with Sean Vanaman, a key Walking Dead writer, and Peter Molyneux is my only source of evidence for this. Look at 1:08:50:
"Telltale's doing Season 2 of the Walking Dead...really some exciting, just sort of long future narrative stuff that I think is gonna be really cool."
"Who you are, and what you want and what you're doing and what happens to you I think is gonna be bonkers...something special." An older Clementine, perhaps?
Then at about the 1:18:00 mark, Molyneux is talking about what it would actually be like if 99% of the population disappeared and an apocalypse actually did happen. Then he asks "How long would it take nature to come back?"
To which Vanaman replies: "Those are the things -- Season 2 might be -- might be -- I think you should -- experience it....." He clearly can't talk about it but it seems that he could be hinting at nature retaking the world, obviously meaning it takes place far in the future. Though this might be too similar to The Last of Us (amazing game, btw.)
Anyway, that's all I've got. Not much to go on but it's coming from the lead writer and some of the stuff definitely seems to be hinting at Season 2 of The Walking Dead taking place far in the future, perhaps with an older Clementine as the protagonist. To me, that sounds pretty incredible.

We don't necessarily have to go that far into the future though. After all, we all know that humanity decreases in numbers rapidly. And we also know that the zombie population, after its initially certainly impressive rise, can only go downhill in the meantime. They aren't perfectly 'immortal', their heads are coveted trophies, they're so stupid that they regularly get themselves killed and lastly - they do not reproduce. So the described situation could be far nearer than Molyneux thinks.
it would make sense to give us more deets on clem's solo path even if it is mostly a cut scene with qte moments then we take on a 400 days style arc different people need different things doing 'we do them all' allows for story changes and options getting to the end which hopefully will have some differences 2 or 3 would be fine with me
like larry and the stranger.
vernon was a prime candidate for revenge :P
some of the rage we see on these forums towards certain enemy's / villians/ pain in the ass and all the death threats people throw out do sometimes go unresolved! so some of us a bit pent up..
yes it would be a bit predictable and thus mixing it up is good keeps us guessing but sometimes those guys need an ass kickin who's with me ?
Maybe in Season 2, we'll be playing as a new character. Most of the characters who are still alive or has an "unknown" status from Season 1 and 400 days will play major roles and our character will be able to interact or at least see them.
And no, I don't think Clementine, Tavia, or any of the 5 playable characters in 400 days will be playable.
Point is, place story to few years from now and there would be bigger problems than bandits. Also most zombies would have already turned to useless junk.
You always seem to make sense when I read one of your post. Not bad.... for a Mundy.
