The Walking Dead: Season 3 - How to Import Your Season 2 Save File

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier is skipping Xbox 360 and PS3, and that makes importing your save files onto the PS4 or Xbox One trickier than before. Your choices still matter in the long-running The Walking Dead spin-off series by Telltale, and all your decisions from Season 2 can carry-over into the next generation of console hardware if you follow the steps prescribed by Telltale support.

In The Walking Dead: Season 2, you continue the story with Clem as she encounters new survivors and old friends. The multiple endings send Clem to wildly different locations, so it will be interesting to see how Season 3 pushes the story forward. Clem is confirmed, and we can only imagine that the next season introduces a taste of civilization to the bleak, zombie-infested universe of TWD.

How to Import Your Season 2 Save File

[NOTE: If you no longer have access to save files, The Walking Dead: A New Frontier adds a new feature that allows you to choose what decisions you made to properly tailor your backstory using the Story Generator.]

The Walking Dead: Season 3 will not be available on Xbox 360 or PS3, but if you still have save files on those systems, it is possible to import your Season 2 save file so that story can continue with your choices intact.

There are multiple ways to transfer / import save files. Here, we’ll walk you through all instances depending on what platforms you own, and what steps are required to continue the story.

If You Own TWD: Season 2 and TWD: Season 3 On the Same Platform…

Launch The Walking Dead: A New Frontier
Select ‘Episodes’ from the Main Menu
Select ‘Continue Your Story’
Select a Local Save file to import.
- The game will automatically detect any local save files for Season 2.
- You can import up to four local save files.

If You Own TWD: Season 2 and TWD: Season 3 On Different Platforms…

Note: To complete this process, you’ll need a Telltale account and an internet connection to update TWD: Season 2 to the latest version. Register a Telltale account here.

Launch TWD: Season 2 on the original platform.
- Login to your Telltale account.

Select ‘Save Files’ from the Main Menu
Scroll to the Save File you wish to upload. Select ‘Upload’
- Only one file can be uploaded at a time.

Fine the device you used to upload your save file, select “Use Save”
- If your device does not display ‘Use Save’ — select “Recovery Options” for more help.
- The file will say ‘Save Selected’.
Launch TWD: A New Frontier from your current platform.
- Select ‘Settings’ -> ‘Accounts’ to log into your Telltale account.

This system should work for most users, but there are some exceptions we should note below.

iOS users must upload local saves using the Telltale Account feature for Season 2 to import local files into Season 3.
Windows 10 users cannot use local save data on this platform. Local save data imported from other platforms can be used to continue the story.
Playstation Vita users cannot use the save import feature.
