The Walking Dead Spreads To Two More Games
Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead is expanding to two different games – #IDARB and The Escapists – in their own special ways.
The Escapists The Walking Dead (shown) is standalone game by The Escapists developer Team17 featuring Rick Grimes and a band of survivors looking for a way out of danger. The game has the same timeline as the comics, so players will see locations they know and love.
The Escapists The Walking Dead comes out for Xbox One and PC this year.
Meanwhile, oddball indie title #IDARB are adding The Walking Dead and Invincible (another Kirkman comic) content via a single add-on pack. Each comic gets their own arena, teams, hashbombs, half-time games, and sounds in #IDARB.
The pack's release date and price will be announced later this summer.
Our Take
We're obviously used to games seeing The Walking Dead visually portrayed in a certain realistic way, but it's nice to see the property being used in conjunction with gameplay that's also not as straightforward.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
