Zombies nowadays are selling like pancakes, particularly the undead of The Walking Dead franchise. After the successful TV series and Telltale Games‘ episodic adventure, a new shooter game was announced last July.
Serving as a prequel to AMC’s TV adaptation, IGN reports that the new game will be called “The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct”. The game will feature the character Daryl Dixon alongside his brother Merle on their quest to reach a safe haven in Atlanta.
Activision describes the game as:
a do-whatever-you-need-to-survive first-person action game that brings the deep, character-driven world of AMC’s Emmy Award-winning TV series onto console gaming systems and the PC in a frightening, new way. The game puts players in the role of the mysterious, crossbow-wielding survivor Daryl Dixon, alongside his overbearing brother Merle, on a haunting, unforgiving quest across the Georgia countryside to reach the supposed safety of Atlanta.
Additionally, AMC announced a contest where fans can enter for a chance to be a featured character in the game (or a brand new car!), you can visit the official website for more details.
Survival Instinct is set to infect Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on 2013.
