Release Date Announced for The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct

After recently showing off the first gameplay footage from The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, the official release date has just been announced:

"Today AMC and Activision announce The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is scheduled for release Tue., Mar. 26 in North America and Fri., Mar 29 in Europe for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U and PC. (Pre-order The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct at GameStop.com)

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is a first-person action survival game that brings to life the authentic, heart-stopping horrors of the AMC Emmy® award-winning TV series The Walking Dead. In the game, players assume the role of the crossbow-wielding survivor Daryl Dixon (voiced by Norman Reedus from AMC's hit TV series) alongside his brother Merle (voiced by costar Michael Rooker). Together, they embark on a haunting, unforgiving quest across the Georgia countryside.

Players will need to tread carefully throughout this grim adventure, as resources are scarce and hope even scarcer. From scrounging for weapons, food and water to surviving encounters with the undead and the living, gamers will have to use their wits to stay alive in this terrifying, post-apocalyptic world. Do you risk using stealth to go in close for a quiet kill, attack from a distance and hazard attracting a swarm of walkers, or avoid the battle and live to fight another day? Helping survivors can bring benefits -- but can you afford to trust everyone you meet? Every path, every action, every choice has a consequence. At the end of the world, no place is truly safe."
