Episodic gaming involves releasing a game in “episodes,” similar to how TV shows air in seasons or episodes. Each episode of the game typically advances the storyline, allowing players to experience parts of the narrative over time, rather than all at once. This format builds anticipation and fosters community engagement, as players discuss plot developments between releases. Popular examples include games like Life is Strange and The Walking Dead series. Episodic gaming provides a more serialized, story-driven experience and allows developers to refine and improve the game in between episodes based on player feedback.
