The Walking Dead Game Cast Makes Their Pixel-y Debut In Minecraft
Minecraft enthusiasts can express their love of zombies with the latest skin pack. Seven character models based off of Telltale's The Walking Dead will be available shortly.
Lee, Kenny, Molly, Christa, and Omid make up the majority of the skin set. Two generic walkers are also added to the mix – one male and one female. Good luck telling which one is which.
The new skin pack might be a fun way to lure in The Walking Dead fans as well, who are undoubtedly in need of an undead fix until season two launches.
Skin Pack 5 will be available for the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft on July 31 for 160 Microsoft Points from the Xbox Live Marketplace.
Our Take
Where’s Clementine? It seems like an oversight that she was left out.
As for the represented models: Kenny’s moustache, Lee’s beard, and Molly’s face mask make them recognizable. If I wasn't aware there were Christa and Omid designs, I’d barely recognize them. Still, this is a fun set of skins that Minecraft players are sure to enjoy.
