After a successful debut during SDCC 2012, The Walking Dead Escape has announced that it's returning to San Diego during Comic-Con this July. Comic-Con 2013 is taking place from July 18 - 21 at the San Diego Convention Center and The Walking Dead Escape will be located within walking distance at Petco Park.

This year, the event will take place on July 19 and 20, and expect a number of changes from last year. It has already been revealed that there will be an expanded course, including new Season 3 locations, such as The Governor's Gladiators and The Prison Gauntlet. There is also the addition of "The Survivor Showdown", which will allow teams of survivors to compete for cash and other prizes.

We've included the course map below, along with some details on the new locations. Expect more information on The Walking Dead Escape: San Diego and The Walking Dead Escape: Philadelphia in the coming weeks. We will be covering the San Diego event live during Comic-Con and will also give away free tickets to Daily Dead readers closer to July.

Evacuation Zone: You thought you were escaping the virus, but your military-guarded safe zone has been compromised. Break through the zombie chaos and begin the run to Survive.
Herd Highway: Herds of zombies have overrun a highway of abandoned cars. Hide and dash your way through the congested dead zone - but be strategic! Herds are attracted by smells, sounds and quick movement!
Hospital Hell: Rick woke from his coma in a zombie-infested hospital. Navigate the undead Doctors and destroyed equipment to escape the crumbling medical facility.
The Prison Gauntlet: Rick's group hasn't cleared this prison block yet. Crawl your way through the barricades and chain link fences to escape the infested penitentiary.
The Governor's Gladiators: The Governor's sick idea of entertainment has gotten way out of hand. Dodge hordes of chained up zombies and humans going head to head for their lives - there is no telling which is more dangerous!
Quarantine: Just when you think you're safe... FEMA teams must run highly confidential scientific tests on you to find out if you've been infected!
