Based upon both the fantastic graphic novel and new hit TV series, The Walking Dead is set to come to the Xbox Live Arcade sometime this winter, it will have an original story following a new character named Lee Everett.
The arcade game will pick up the action with Everett as he escapes from his prison escort after it's hit by a car and rolls into a ditch. Now a free man, Everett finds himself trying to leave Atlanta as the zombie hordes bear down upon him and a little seven-year old girl named Clementine who looks to him for protection. (Anyone get the feeling someone had just been playing Dead Rising 2 when playing this?)
Familiar faces like Lilly from the books will also make an appearance, as will locations like Herschel's farm.
The Walking Dead game hopes to “push the boundaries of what's been done by Telltale in the past”, says Telltale's Kevin Boyle, however as of now there are no screenshots or gameplay on offer of the game though it has been confirmed it will be a 3D adventure game and will be episodic.
Looking froward to it or just feel its going to be another zombie bashing game?
I myself loved the TV show but I have a feeling that the game just wont be as good... fingers crossed though.
