The Walking Dead: The Final Season has been on an incredibly bumpy ride over the last few months; original developer Telltale Games sadly closed its doors last year, putting the game's future in doubt, before Skybound Games saved the day by promising to complete it. Things are definitely looking up now, though, as the entire final season is now coming to Switch in physical form, too.
The season's third episode launched digitally on Switch earlier this month, with the fourth and final episode also being dated for a 26th March release on the eShop. This newly-announced physical version is scheduled for a release just after that date on 29th March, as shown in this tweet below from Spanish video game distributor, Meridiem Games.
While no other publishers have confirmed the release just yet, we'd expect to see the game appear across other countries, too - especially in other territories in Europe at the very least. A listing for the physical copy also appeared on the US version of Amazon several days ago, despite no word on the matter from official sources.
Meridiem Games has confirmed that the physical edition will include all four episodes of the final season in one package.

Nice. I'll be picking this up. Now can we please have the other Walking dead seasons physical for Switch as well.
When are they putting season 2 up?
I'm waiting for season 3 before I even consider the final season. At this rate, I might just get it in another platform in the future.
Nice... anyone going to publish the other two seasons for Switch?
Well, that's nice in the event of the games possibly disappearing from digital storefronts for any conceivable reason. You get to keep a physical copy no matter what.
There's still hope for season 2 of Batman then too...I hope. I REALLY want a physical edition of that
Thats good at least, a way to own these games physically in-case something were to happen like more legal troubles and remove the games digitally entirely.
Looking forward for the other seasons and michonne to appear on the switch too
I want to pick this up, on Switch, but not until I hear confirmations that we are getting the other, previous seasons. I jumped on season 1 when it released.
After all that drama with TellTale, unless I hear a new confirmation of their release, I ain't touching this.
I only recently played the Walking Dead Season 1 and 2. Pretty good stuff, especially the first season.
Third season I'm undecided on per if I like the style, but the final seems to be looking better. I am waiting to hear of the full completion of the game before I consider it further, based on the turmoil of the studio
Yes!!! Yessssss!!! Yes yes yes!!! Am I excited, did I tell you that?! The Switch processor and display are optimised for showing cartoon style graphics. This will be the best way to play The Walking Dead. Eat the Walking Dead dust PS4 and Xbox, Switch is now rocking this ride.
Does this let you choose choices from previous walking dead games?
Should've went the Banner Saga route and just released the entire trilogy on one cart
I loved the first season and was super excited to finish the series but like others, there’s no way I am buying the last season if we aren’t getting the middle ones...
@TechaNinja yes I believe so
I hope we get the rest of the other seasons on switch.
