Genre: VR Adventure
Entwickler: Skybound Entertainment, Skydance Interactive
System: PSVR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive
Release: TBA
The terrifying world of The Walking Dead will be coming to a VR headset near you thanks to a new partnership between Robert Kirkman and David Alpert's Skybound Entertainment and David Ellison's Skydance Interactive.
During E3 2017, the two companies announced a new partnership to develop multiple original virtual reality titles set within the universe of The Walking Dead. The inaugural title developed through this partnership will be a Walking Dead VR game featuring a new setting and cast of characters, "which players will experience through an innovative contextual interaction system."
The Walking Dead continues to dominate the pop culture space with the success of Kirkman and Charlie Adlard's comics and the AMC drama remains the top-rated show on TV. The companion series, Fear the Walking Dead, recently returned for its third season, while The Walking Dead Telltale Games helped carve out a new subgenre of video games with their ongoing, episodic storytelling. So it only makes sense that Skybound would look to expand the zombie-filled world to virtual reality.
The focus of the VR game will be an immersive narrative storytelling experience that forces players to make the same complex moral choices faced with characters in other Walking Dead stories versus making a straight up horror VR game. That choice and discovery matrix, along with the interaction implications those player decisions will have, will create the framework of this new title. No target release date for The Walking Dead VR title has been set. It's being developed in Unreal Engine, and will be released on platforms including PSVR, HTC Vive and Oculus.
