The Walking Dead franchise just refuses to stay dead—and honestly, we wouldn't have it any other way. Four years after the flagship series concluded, AMC is breathing new life into the zombie-ridden world with a surprising spin-off that trades live-action for pixels. This time, the undead are coming to your console in a brand-new video game: The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival.
Announced in partnership with games publisher Trailmark Games, this single-player beat-'em-up is being developed by Odaclick Game Studio, the team behind The Karate Kid: Street Rumble. Set during the fan-favorite All-Out War story arc—when Rick Grimes and his group were locked in a brutal conflict with Negan and the Saviors—the game lets players revisit iconic locations like Alexandria while battling hordes of walkers and human enemies using unique combat abilities.
Who Can You Play As?
The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival features a roster of beloved characters from the series, including Rick, Michonne, Daryl, and more. Each character comes with their own signature weapons and fighting style, adding variety to the brawling action. Whether you prefer Rick's revolver, Michonne's katana, or Daryl's crossbow, there's a playstyle for every fan. And if you just want to punch walkers until you feel better after a long day, that's an option too—though the game promises more depth than simple button-mashing.
The original series starred Andrew Lincoln (Love Actually) as Rick Grimes, Norman Reedus (The Boondock Saints) as Daryl Dixon, Danai Gurira (Black Panther) as Michonne, Melissa McBride (The Mist) as Carol Peletier, Lauren Cohan (Supernatural) as Maggie Greene, Steven Yeun (Minari) as Glenn Rhee, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen) as Negan. While the game's voice cast hasn't been confirmed, fans can expect familiar faces—and voices—to guide them through the apocalypse.

The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival will launch on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. A specific release date hasn't been announced yet, but eager fans can already try a free demo on Steam.
