The Walking Dead: No Man’s Land will be a mobile exclusive game based on the TV Show

Games set in the world of The Walking Dead have been few and far between, and more often than not settle in the category of award winning, a la The Walking Dead by Telltale Games, or downright awful *cough* The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct *cough*. The Walking Dead: No Man’s Land, is a new title based on that post-apocalyptic world which just been announced by AMC and developer, Next Games, who will work closely with the TV Show itself to create its world. Check out their announcement teaser below:

It’s a very cinematic trailer, and its doubtful that the end product will look like that, but we know the game is a mobile-exclusive title and that its release will be timed alongside the start of The Walking Dead Season 5. Next Games and AMC say that there will be choices to be made, not unlike those made in the TV show, and that “choosing the right survival strategy and making the most human choices possible is at the heart of the first-of-its-kind game”.

It’s hard not to be quietly excited about this game from what’s been shown so far, but but we’ll keep tabs on this one till it comes out.
