“Do you have what it takes to not only survive but to thrive in a world swarming with Walkers?” a preview of the game from the Google Play Store read. “Experience the world of The Walking Dead by crossing paths with iconic comic book characters like Rick, Michonne, Negan, Ezekiel, and Glenn. Battle hordes of Walkers and fight the living. Visit fan favorite locations as you explore the vast universe that is The Walking Dead.”
In addition to those characters, others like Beta, Maggie, and Hershel will all be in The Walking Dead: Survivors as well. characters focus on different specialties like combat or development to bolster the settlements players create while defending themselves against walkers and other threats. That survival is guaranteed through creating towns and assigning the survivors to different tasks they’re best suited for while constructing defenses to fend off the assaults from beyond your settlement’s walls.
Players will have to venture out of those settlements occasionally to expand their territory and gain more resources. You’re also able to join up with other players to form clans while you face off against walkers and Negan who serves as another antagonist in the game.
The Walking Dead: Survivors will release for Android and iOS devices on April 12th.
