Team17 today announced that they are developing and publishing The Escapists: The Walking Dead, a new game in collaboration with Skybound Entertainment.
Merging the indie game The Escapists with The Walking Dead, Team17 have taken the best of both worlds and are providing players with the opportunity to play Rick Grimes as he takes on hordes of zombies let loose upon the world.
In this game, recreated entirely in the 8-bit pixel art style of The Escapists, Rick is in charge of a band of survivors featuring many of the original comic book cast. He must secure the safety of the group by seeking out a safe escape route from each area, and manage several dangerous tasks to keep as many of the group alive as possible. The game faithfully matches the timeline of the comics and so as the player makes progress in the game they play through locations that mirror the progress of the band of the survivors taken from the comic’s story.
The Escapists: The Walking Dead is scheduled for a 2015 release on Xbox One and PC.
