"When we got to Season 2, we had a plan in the back of our minds of how we would make all these endings keep those threads going forward," Telltale Games CEO Kevin Bruner told Mashable.
Season 3 will take an "unexpected" approach, according to Bruner. Lots of people in the fan community are expecting something that neatly ties together all the possible threads, but Bruner promised that it won't be nearly so obvious.
"From a role-playing, interactive storytelling point of view, it is not from the bag of tricks that we've ever shown anybody before," he said.
"The way that we're dealing with and validating and retaining all those different playthroughs is really cool and unexpected and, I think, pretty innovative from the storytelling point of view."
p. sure it's gonna be mostly from Javier's POV with us playing as him and he runs into Clem a bit into the story

The adventure game series lets players don the role of Javier, a man looking for his family after a zombie apocalypse ravages the world. In the latest season, Javier is joined by Clementine and Telltale promises their “fates are bound together in a story where every choice you make could be your last.”

I'm so curious
I wonder if the unexpected approach is playing as someone else w/ Clem entering their story. But I really wanna know about the tying up playthroughs thing
To be fair you don't play as Clem in the first one which is arguably better (:
I have faith. If she isn't heavily featured in the story then I'd be pissed but there's no way that's the case. She'll get plenty of great character stuff even while you're playing as another person just like she did in S1. It's not rly a huge deal if you think of it that way. Each season as a different character might be kinda nice anyway, WE'LL SEE JUST RELAX
Who knows what'll happen tho, maybe you end up playing as both. Or maybe Javier dies and you switch over to Clem or some shit
