AMC and Next Games' location-based augmented reality game
The Walking Dead: Our World is inspired by AMC's hit television show (which is based on Robert Kirkman's series of graphic novels). As such, the newly released mobile game is set to add new missions in tandem with the upcoming Season 9 premiere of the TV show.
The Walking Dead: Our World will receive new content on a weekly basis, with the first mission set to arrive on Monday, October 8 - the day after
The Walking Dead Season 9 premieres on AMC. Following the premiere of each new episode of the television show,
TWD: Our World will feature new and exclusive missions themed after that week's episode. Missions will launch on the Monday following the Sunday episode premiere.
Completing these missions will reward you with characters from the television show. The events will be a variety of single-encounter missions and larger group encounters known as Infestations where players have to complete a series of three-to-five missions to earn greater prizes.
In celebration of the collaboration,
The Walking Dead actors Michael Cudlitz (Abraham Ford) and Josh McDermitt (Eugene Porter) have worked with AMC and Next Games to developer a series of shorts titled "
Life after The Walking Dead." The first short can be seen below.
The Walking Dead: Our World further expands the universe of AMC's long-running hit TV series with state-of-the-art augmented reality execution that brings walkers to the player's screen, providing an unprecedented way to join the fight against the globally spreading apocalypse in their own neighborhood. With hordes of walkers roaming the streets, players need to tackle mass encounters, infestations and rescue missions alongside their favorite heroes from the TV series, including Daryl, Michonne and Rick. Players can fight hoards solo or compete in weekly missions alongside friends, showcasing their skills to claim recognition and rewards anywhere they go, including from the comfort of their own home and at world-famous landmarks and buildings such as the Statue of Liberty, the London Eye and Burj Khalifa.
The Walking Dead: Our World is available for free on iOS and Android.
