A new mobile games based on AMC’s The Walking Dead series is due to release alongside the fifth season of the popular TV show.
The new game is as yet untitled, but in the works at Next Games, a Helsinki studio founded by former members of Rovio, Supercell and Disney Interactive.
Although no details of the game’s genre were provided, comments from Next Games CEO Teemu Huuhtanen suggest it won’t be a top-down shooter or similar.
“Our take on the undead survival franchise will match the against-all-odds action and moment-to-moment tension of the TV series,” Huuhtanen said.
“We want to find that sweet spot where gameplay and narrative inform and reinforce one another. I can confidently state it’s unlike anything we’ve seen from The Walking Dead franchise on home or mobile gaming hardware before.”
You can expect the game's release to coincide with the next season of the Walking Dead, which will be this October.
