it seems
Spoiler:
Clementine, AJ are returning, alongside whoever you chose to save out of Violet or Tenn or Louis, one of which might accompany them, whoever you chose also to romance or friendzone
Javier Garcia is returning with more from Richmond, where he is a leader
Crista makes her long awaited comeback apparently, all the way from season 2, her last appearance when she went missing
and there are also several new characters, one codenamed as ''Mercer'' (could this be the Mercer also from TWD Season 11 in the commonwealth, so more like a background story on him
)
there is gonna be a definitive remastered collection which includes season 1 to 5 + Michonne and the 400 Days DLC
all of whom look more polished than before, with certain different ways of gameplay, still with the multi dialogue of course, and season 5 might be more of a open world-ish feel, as much as can be in this franchise obviously, also lesser QTE's but more dialogue content with NPC's
