The third season of Telltale's The Walking Dead is set to arrive next week, December 20. It will bring with it a brand new protagonist to star alongside Clementine, a whole bunch of new madmen to run away from, and perhaps most surprisingly, one of the more famous characters from the comics.

If you're interested in seeing what all of this looks like, here's the recently posted preview trailer for Episode 1: A New Frontier. Before you dive in, however, do bear in mind that there are some minor spoilers in the video, most notably the reveal of the aforementioned character. So if you don't mind such things, here's the video:

"When family is all you have left... how far will you go to protect it? Years after society was ripped apart by undead hands, pockets of civilization emerge from the chaos. But at what cost? Can the living be trusted on this new frontier?"

After watching that brief teaser you probably have a couple of questions about Javier, the new protagonist that will be vying for our attention alongside Clementine. If you don't mind even more minor spoilers, you'll find his 'origins' story by heading over here. Its most likely going to appear as a part of Episode 1, so if you're currently struggling between curiosity and the desire to stay spoiler free, I would recommend keeping yourself in the dark as one week is not a terribly long time to wait.

And since I can offer you very little else in terms of information, mostly because there just isn't any, here's a couple of images to set the atmosphere:
