AMC and Next Games’
The Walking Dead: Our World, a location-based augmented reality mobile game that launched last month, is set to receive weekly content based on the upcoming ninth season of AMC’s
The Walking Dead television show. The content will come in the form of weekly show-themed in-game missions that allow you to unlock characters from the AMC show.
The first in-game mission will arrive on Monday, October 8, following the Season 9 premiere of AMC’s hit show. New, exclusive content will be released thereafter on a weekly basis every Monday, following the Sunday premiere of each new episode. Content released on Monday will be themed after the Sunday episode that aired the night before.
Content will take the form of single-encounter missions and larger group encounters known as Infestations where players must complete a series of three-to-five missions to earn even better prizes. Completing these exclusive missions will reward you with characters from the television show.
In celebration of this collaboration event, AMC and Next Games have brought on
The Walking Dead actors Michael Cudlitz (Abraham Ford) and Josh McDermitt (Eugene Porter) for a series of digital shorts titled “
Life after The Walking Dead.”
The Walking Dead: Our World further expands the universe of AMC's long-running hit TV series with state-of-the-art augmented reality execution that brings walkers to the player's screen, providing an unprecedented way to join the fight against the globally spreading apocalypse in their own neighborhood. With hordes of walkers roaming the streets, players need to tackle mass encounters, infestations and rescue missions alongside their favorite heroes from the TV series, including Daryl, Michonne and Rick. Players can fight hoards solo or compete in weekly missions alongside friends, showcasing their skills to claim recognition and rewards anywhere they go, including from the comfort of their own home and at world-famous landmarks and buildings such as the Statue of Liberty, the London Eye and Burj Khalifa.
The Walking Dead: Our World is a free-to-play mobile game available for iOS and Android. The first weekly in-game mission begins Monday, October 8. Meanwhile, Season 9 of AMC's
The Walking Dead premieres this Sunday, October 7.
