* DeathByAdaptation: An exploitable trope, as players can choose to have certain character perish long before their show counterparts, most notably Rick during "Better Angels" instead of Shane. The second trailer also shows a scenario where Carl dies at Hershel's farm whereas his show counterpart survived until Season 8.

** [[spoiler: In the climax, the Atlanta leader would present Glenn and Michonne and would promptly kill one of them if they attempt to talk them down. In one of the endings, Michonne is the one killed, as the canon story did not kill her off.]]
* DiesDifferentlyIntheAdaptation: [[spoiler: The Governer/Merle/T-Dog would present Glenn and Michonne as hostages. Glenn is beheaded by the Atlanta leader if the player chose him to negotiate. Glenn in the cannon story is noted to be brutally killed by Negan whereas the video game beheads him.]]

* KarmaHoudini: The second trailer implies Merle got this in one scenario, as it's shown that T-Dog was left stranded on the Atlanta roof in his place, even though Merle was handcuffed there as punishment for his racist, drugged up rant and attack on the group.

Added DiffLines:

* TruerToTheText: Some of the game's differences actually bring it more in line with the comic series, such as the game being RuderAndCruder as noted above. The absence of Jenner is also true to the comic since he and the CDC story were an invention for the show.

Added DiffLines:

* KilledOffscreen: If the player has Shane save one of Hershel's daughters (Maggie or Beth) instead of getting the medicament bag to Carl, the latter will die offscreen from the wound, and the game will cut straight to his funeral.
