GameMill Entertainment and AMC have announced a new game set in The Walking Dead universe called The Walking Dead: Destinies. It is a third-person, narrative-driven adventure game where your choices can reshape the story of Seasons 1-4 of the hit TV show. It is in development for all major platforms (PC via Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch).
You start out playing as Rick Grimes and visit key locations from the show, such as Green’s farm, the prison, Woodbury, and Atlanta. GameMill promises that you’ll be able to “weave your way through serires” when you get to certain key choice moments that can determine who lives and who dies, with those choices likely to differ from how things play out on the show.
Destinies will feature over a dozen characters from the AMC TV show, including Shane, Michonne, Carol, Daryl, the aforementioned Rick, and more. Each character has their own unique abilities, and you’ll need to manage your resources, including limited amounts of weapons (such as bats, katanas, pistols, shotguns, and crossbows) and ammo.
GameMill says the expected price for Destinies is $49.99.
