Is It True That S2 EP2 Is Coming Out This Tuesday?
This is by no means confirmed at all. I've been hearing EVERYWHERE that the Episode 2 of Season 2 of TWD is coming out on February 18th, which is the approaching Tuesday. I would love it if that was the case, but I haven't seen TellTale anywhere confirm that this is the release date. TellTale normally releases their episodes on Tuesdays, so I can see where fans can be coming from if this is just a false rumor. However, we have proof that the episode is finished because a TellTale employee tweeted that she has finished playing the episode. So we know it's ready and finished, but it still has to go through certification. But I don't know how long that takes for TellTale games, or Episodes. What we DO know is that TellTale confirmed that the episode will be coming out this month. If that's the case, than there's still 2 weeks left of waiting at maximum. Right know we are at the 7th week mark, even though episodes take around 4-6 weeks according to TellTale, and they even said that they don't plan on making any more delays. So at maximum we'll end up waiting 9 weeks. But if this rumor is actually true about the next episode coming out this Tuesday, than that will be at the 8th week mark. Another thing is that if the rumor was true, we would be seeing a trailer this weekend. If anything, the trailer should come out today if it was true. If we don't get a trailer by today or tomorrow, than we will have to wait another week.
UPDATE: TellTale retweeted another one of their employee's tweet and it reads "Played the latest Ep of TWD today! And you'll all be playing too super soon! Look out for important updates over the next few days!" This can mean a lot. The tweeter says that there will be updates over the next few days. If this rumor is true, then that means we'll be seeing the episode released in only 3 days. "The next few days" can be any time span. But I don't think 3 days is enough time to just get all of their "updates" out. But I can be wrong, of course. Maybe these "updates" are just the trailer, and the episode being released itself. If that were the case, then the chance of the episode being released on Tuesday still remains in play. But apparently we are supposed to see images, to according to another TellTale employee. Maybe when she said "images" she meant the trailer. But one thing we know, is that we don't know anything. We don't know what TellTale has up their sleeve. But now thinking about it more, there's only 2 possible release dates left (you guys also said in the comments). Those days are February 18th, and February 25th, with the 18th being this Tuesday and the 25th being next Tuesday. This leaves us with two scenarios. TellTale has very little time to get all of their "updates" out, or they have very ample time to get their "updates" out, with 3 days being very little time, and a week and a half being very ample time. We'll just have to wait and see.
ANOTHER UPDATE: TellTale released a new screenshot of a part in episode 2. This is the first update we've gotten since they tweeted "Stick around for more important updates!" Well, first, if you want to go check out the image, go to TellTale's twitter and it'll be on the front page (link: https://twitter.com/telltalegames). I'm not going to post the picture here because it will get in the way of this "analysis." I'm not going to go in depth about what this picture can mean either, as there are other posts for that. We still need the trailer, however. TellTale isn't going to release the episode without a trailer posted on their YouTube channel. I said earlier in this post that if we don't get the trailer by Saturday or Sunday, then the episode will most likely be released on the 25th. I'll correct myself here. I completely forgot that TellTale has actually released trailers the day before the game comes out, and people actually reminded me on the comments (thank you for that). With this being said, this means that if we don't get a trailer by Monday, then we'll be getting the episode on the 25th. But this screenshot is the first step into the episode being released. And it will give us, the fans, the chance to discuss what the picture can mean and what will happen in the episode. I'm sure we'll be seeing more screenshots or posts soon.
What do YOU think? Feel free to discuss what you know or think on this thread.

Unfortunately, it's just a theory/rumour at the moment.
Yeah, it is. I can see why it's a possibility, but we don't know anything for sure
Actually,they can release the trailer the day it comes out.they did it before.Go see the old trailers for season 1,some say coming soon and some say now available.they could always give us a release date this weekend too after all,another tweet posted yesterday says he just finished playing,and we'll play it super soon (or very soon,don't remember)and in the trailer for s2 ep1 it said very soon,and it was released the weekend before it came out.Cheer up
It's higly possible to me. We are at the end of the week and we've got a "coming super soon,check out for news in the next few days" tweet,they said to not care about the lack of trailers and it's true because most of the launch trailers for TWD are released one day before the episode release. Also we know that they already realized the whole gameplay thanks to a tweet. And that tweet with the white board can also mean that most of the job is done. So yeah,18th Feb is my guess.
Telltale could release the trailer the day before it comes out. Lately, however, they have been releasing trailers the Thursday/Friday before the game comes out. Going off that pattern, the game will likely be released on the 25th. This also means we might get a few teaser images over the next few days.
Also, telltale almost never gets a new episode in 4-6 weeks. It's usually 6-8, if not a bit more.
Yeah, another employee and TellTale tweeted to someone 3 days ago that asked when they were going to get images of S2 EP2, and she replied "You won't have to wait TOO long... "
It's possible, but pretty unlikely. I would expect the week after.
Telltale broke my will to live a while ago, I'm just waiting now. Waiting...
Waiting...
Wait...ing...
lolololol, no release date yet guys, It won't release without a date being giving first. People thinking its just gonna surprise launch...
That would be awesome but I'm also expecting it to be released february 25th... february 18th is the last week they are in their 6 week waiting period but in season 1 the second and third episoes came out withing 7 or 8 weeks so I don't really know when it's coming out...
Waiting... Waiting...
Maybe I should have pitched a tent.
It's been more than six weeks that ep 1 came out,for the record it came out the 17 of December,and we are the 15 of February so it's been almost 8 weeks,around that number anyway...
It has been around 8 weeks but most consider the holiday a bit a leeway
Funny that you mention that, as I was the person who asked them that
Really? That's funny.
Lol, it's not gonna be a surprise launch...
I agree. But I can honestly seeing it this week or next week. They're both likely.
Sorry man. But it's not gonna happen.
(O.K i'll stop now im starting too border the troll line)
Lol.
Yeah the holidays surely interrupted time on developing and finishing episode 2.
i forgot about that :O :`(
From the recent tweets, I think there might be a good chance that we might be getting it on the 18th.
I just updated the post. It includes TellTale's new retweet.
I pray its Tuesday I cant wait any longer
There is a decent chance that it may come out on tuesday. The All That Remains trailer came out the day before the episode was on the market. If it doesn't come out this week then it will definitely/probably come out the week after.
It's just a theory, but who knows? Even a stopped clock is twice right..
It's been around 8-10 weeks. Remember that a month is over 4 weeks
Holy crap. BOO THIS MAN! Then start a riot obviously. Look at the lady at the bottom right. She a hobo? Jk. Where does the soda bottle man come from at the end?
Yeah, that's what I pretty much think will be the case. If we don't get a trailer by Monday at the latest, we'll be seeing episode 2 on the 25th.
Lol.
All this waiting, then we will all finish the episode within 2 hours, then it's back to the 3 month wait. amazing
Telltale usually makes it worth our time
got to factor in the Christmas holidays tho.
That GIF never gets old .
right now I lost my mind by waiting so long, I mean look at all the joker gifs I'm posting!
25 february is a safer bet. We could have a surprise and see the game out on 18, but the odds are small since we didn't even receive a release trailer.
So my bet is we get a release trailer this week and the episode will be released on 25 february.
