Combining the format and style of The Escapists video game with the characters and world of The Walking Dead, Team17's upcoming video game The Escapists: The Walking Dead will allow gamers to navigate and fight through walker-infested locations from Robert Kirkman's living dead universe, and a new trailer teases the Woodbury level.

The Escapists: The Walking Dead will be available soon for the Xbox One and PC. Stay tuned to Daily Dead for more details.

"Merging the award-winning, smash-hit, indie game The Escapists with the worldwide phenomenon that is The Walking Dead, Team17 have taken the very best of both worlds and are now providing players with the opportunity to play Rick Grimes as he takes on hordes of zombies let loose upon the world.

In this unique game, recreated entirely in the charming 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 award-winning comic’s epic story.

Team17, founded in 1990, are a fully independent video game developer and publisher responsible for the Worms™ series, Alien Breed and Superfrog. Ensure you never miss out on our latest videos by subscribing to us now: http://bit.ly/SubscribeT17."
