The Walking Dead fact sheet and screens
Announced last month, Activision have released a fact sheet and a couple of screenshots for The Walking Dead video game.
The game will feature a single player campaign which puts players in the world of The Walking Dead, viewing it through the eyes of Daryl Dixon. The emphasis of the game (as you’d expect) is on survival, with players being given the freedom to decide how they play – will you stay and fight or use stealth to avoid confrontation? The decisions the player makes whilst playing will also matter, with the characters you encounter being able to help or hurt Daryl – regardless of whether they accompany him on his journey.
The Walking Dead certainly sounds like an interesting title, but with no release date set yet (except for 2013) we have a while to wait yet to walk with the dead.

The Walking Dead brings the authentic, heart-stopping horrors of The Walking Dead to life in a way that’s unlike anything the series has ever seen. Terminal Reality’s upcoming video game is an all-new, first-person, do-whatever-you-need-to-survive game based on AMC’s Emmy award-winning series. In the game, players assume the role of the mysterious, crossbow-wielding survivor Daryl Dixon, alongside his overbearing brother Merle, on a haunting, unforgiving quest to make their way to the supposed safety of Atlanta.
FEATURES
- An engrossing single player campaign that lets players experience the world of The Walking Dead through the eyes of fan-favorite, Daryl Dixon.
- A unique style of gameplay that blends first-person action with resource management for a focus on surviving the undead nightmare.
- Authentic character design and frighteningly realistic animations. Walkers look, move and react to sights, sounds and smells just the way that they do in the hit television show.
- An emphasis on survival – every threat needs to be assessed and every situation analyzed. Players will choose whether to stay and fight while risking a gruesome death or using stealth to avoid the undead. Resources are scarce and scattered; gamers will have to not only ration supplies, but carefully consider their food, medical needs, ammunition, and other goods as survival in the game is based upon wit and intellect more so than simple, sheer skill.
- Decisions matter as Daryl will encounter a slew of characters that can help or hurt him in a variety of ways; whether or not they accompany him is completely up to the player and represents just some of the major decisions that will constantly be made.
- Terminal Reality’s using their proprietary Infernal Engine and wealth of experience to create an amazing experience for both fans and newcomers alike.
