GameMill Entertainment and AMC have announced a new game in The Walking Dead universe called The Walking Dead: Destinies. It's a third-person, narrative-driven action-adventure game in which your choices can reshape the story of seasons 1-4 of the hit TV show. It's in development for all major platforms (PC via Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch).
You begin by playing as Rick Grimes and visit key locations from the show, such as the Greene farm, the prison, Woodbury, and Atlanta. GameMill promises that you'll be able to "weave your own path through serires' events" when you come to certain key choice moments that can determine who lives and who dies, with those choices potentially differing from how things played out on the show.
Destinies will include over a dozen characters from the AMC TV show, including Shane, Michonne, Carol, Daryl, the aforementioned Rick, and more. Each character has their own unique abilities, and you'll need to manage your resources, including limited amounts of weapons (like bats, katanas, revolvers, shotguns, and crossbows) and ammo.
GameMill says the expected price of Destinies is $49.99.
