The Walking Dead is an extremely popular franchise, having begun as a thrilling and gruesome zombie horror comic series before being adapted into AMC's live-action The Walking Dead, Fear The Walking Dead, and The Walking Dead: World Beyond television dramas. The franchise has since spun off into numerous games, particularly Telltale Games' The Walking Dead series, as well as a VR adaptation in The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners. The franchise has also dipped into the mobile games market with several entries, including The Walking Dead: Survivors, Walking Dead: Road to Survival, and The Walking Dead No Man's Land. The latest mobile game set in Skybound's The Walking Dead universe is The Walking Dead: All-Stars, developed by experienced South Korean developer and publisher Com2uS. Com2uS is behind many successful mobile games including Summoner's War, which boasts over 100 million downloads and maintains a strong population over seven years after release. The Walking Dead: All-Stars will feature somewhat similar squad-based tactics gameplay using teams of collected survivors to progress through increasingly difficult story-driven challenges, while players will also be able to do some base management by developing their personal sanctuaries with resources earned through gameplay.
The game's visual style is clearly based on The Walking Dead comic series rather than the live-action AMC series, which lends well to the 2D mobile game format. A diverse cast of familiar survivors including Rick, Michonne, and Glenn will be collectible along with antagonists such as Negan and Alpha, so fans of The Walking Dead will most likely have a chance to acquire their favorite characters. The game will include several different modes besides the normal stages, such as Supply Run, Camp Defense, Joint Combat, and Auto-Search. A dedicated PvP mode also pits players' squads against one another to obtain resources in true The Walking Dead fashion. Pre-registration for the game is available on The Walking Dead: All-Stars' website which will give gamers a chance to try it out early, although no full release date has been announced as of yet. A zombie-stomping squad-based collection game might be just the time-killer The Walking Dead fans need while waiting for the big premiere of Tales of the Walking Dead.
