The Escapists: The Walking Dead Announced for XO & PC

8th July, 0 replies

Team17 has announced that it is developing and publishing The Escapists: The Walking Dead, in collaboration with Skybound Entertainment.

As the name implies, the game merges hit indie title The Escapists with the ever-popular The Walking Dead licence. Players will take on the role of a pixelated Rick Grimes as he takes on hordes of zombies let loose upon the world.

"Rick is in charge of a band of survivors featuring many of the original comic book cast. He must secure the safety of the group by seeking out a safe escape route from each area, and manage several dangerous tasks to keep as many of the group alive as possible.

The game faithfully matches the timeline of the comics and so as the player makes progress in the game they play through locations that mirror the progress of the band of the survivors taken from the award-winning comic's epic story."

Team17 will debut the game at the Walker Stalker Fan Fest in Petco Park, San Diego, California during the 10th and 11th July. The Escapists: The Walking Dead is scheduled for a 2015 release on Xbox One and PC.
