If you've ever wondered how you would fare against a horde of walkers, but you don't actually want the living dead apocalypse to happen, then you can have the best of both worlds (both the living and the living dead versions) in a new VR game from AMC and Survios, The Walking Dead Onslaught.
An immersive experience that will put players in the world of AMC's The Walking Dead, the new VR game The Walking Dead Onslaught is teased in its first trailer and official details below, and we'll be sure to keep Daily Dead readers updated on future announcements leading up to the game's release this fall:
"Fight your fears head-on and step into the apocalyptic world of AMC’s global hit series “The Walking Dead” with the show’s official VR game, The Walking Dead Onslaught.
