“The Walking Dead,” the iconic comic by Robert Kirkman that spawned a popular TV series on AMC, refuses to die. Just like its zombie headlines and leading characters, its popularity might not be as fervent as during its debut, but it seems to perpetually generate interest and spawn derivative works due to the fascination it continues to hold among fans. So much so, that the existence of a new game within the franchise has just been leaked.
To be precise, the details have been leaked. “The Walking Dead: Destinies” is a game whose existence came to light when a Reddit user known as LongJonSilver discovered a patent with that name at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) back in January. Under the video game category, one didn’t need to be a genius to deduce that a new game within this popular series was in the works. And it was well underway.
Now, thanks to the insider billbil-kun, we can uncover more about the game. It will be a third-person action-adventure game that encompasses the first four seasons of the series, allowing players not only to relive its events but also to alter them. Among the available weapons will be the classic firearms, as well as melee weapons like katanas, alongside a significant resource management aspect. For instance, players will reinforce their camp and gather supplies to survive the apocalypse.
Regarding playable characters, players will have the option to choose from 15 characters from the series. Currently confirmed are Rick, Shane, Michonne, Daryl, Merle, Carol, Carl, Lori, Glenn, The Governor, and T-Dog, with other characters yet to be confirmed.
The game will be published by GameMill Entertainment and will be unveiled at Gamescom 2023, taking place from August 23 to 27. The game is set to release on November 14, 2023, and will be available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC at a price of €49.99. It arrives just in time for us to consider purchasing it as part of a bundle along with the series for Black Friday.
