The Walking Dead
The iconic villain of The Walking Dead is on the way to join the fun of the upcoming The Walking Dead: Streets Of Survival
We only have a few more weeks before All-Out-War is coming to the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, Switch 2, and PC with The Walking Dead: Streets Of Survival. We've seen a few of the new character designs and others that we would see leap from the shows to the game that Odaclick Game Studio and Trailmark Games have been working on. One big one that seems to have been missing from the roster is the one that caused the whole event to kick off in The Walking Dead, and that's Negan. The baseball bat-wielding badass that caused all manner of hell for our favorite characters. Well, that all ends now, as on September 18th, when the game launches, we are going to see Negan in action as another of the playable characters. Although we don't have to wait that long to get to see him in action. We can do a bit of that now, as we have a bit of the news out of gamescom to share with the living world.
Beyond that fun little bit of an announcement, there's not much else to say about Negan joining in the fight for The Walking Dead: Streets Of Survival. We have a bit of new footage to look at for the character in the game, but he does seem to follow the rest of the gameplay lineup for combat and how he'll function. Just that he'll have Lucille in his hands and not some other random melee weapons that the various other characters will have. That would be the barbed wire baseball bat that fans of The Walking Dead will be glad to see on the way into the game too. Also, so we can smash some survivor heads along with those of the walkers out there in the world. Even if it might seem a bit odd to have some of these characters fighting on the same side, that's the fun video game logic that we need to ignore quite often to make sure that we are having a great time and not just sticking to the lore that would limit what we could do in the virtual worlds.
The Walking Dead: Streets Of Survival — Introducing Negan
Inspired by the All-Out War storyline from AMC’s The Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: Streets Of Survival delivers an action-packed, no-holds-barred, single-player campaign pitting Rick and his allies against the merciless Saviors and the relentless hordes of the undead. Play as iconic survivors like Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, Michonne – or the vicious Negan – as you battle foes living and dead across classic environments like the Sanctuary, Hilltop, Alexandria and more, featuring devastating combos and finishers, dynamic set pieces, retro pixel-art visuals, and intense, story-driven moments.
Key Features:
- Hard-Hitting Beat-’Em-Up Combat: Use brutal melee abilities, crowd-clearing ranged attacks, or a mix of the two in fast-paced skirmishes. Enjoy responsive, crisp, and satisfying fighting gameplay while surviving the apocalypse.
- Overwhelming Walker Swarms & Ruthless Enemies: Battle through creeping armies of the undead and dangerous gangs of Saviors that force you to fight for every inch of ground and adapt as new threats emerge.
- Face Iconic Bosses: Take on powerful, fan-favorite walkers like Winslow, the Well Walker, and more. The Saviors provide their own challenges as you throw down with Negan and Simon in intense, multi-phase boss battles that test your skill, strategy, and killer instincts.
- Replayable Arcade Challenge: Master each character’s moveset and tackle multiple difficulty levels in an experience built for repeat runs and escalating challenges. Or jump in with an optional Easy Mode for casual play.
Pre-orders for both the Standard and Deluxe Editions of The Walking Dead: Streets Of Survival are available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and, as of today, Steam! Players who pre-order either edition of the game will receive the bonus Golden Survival Pack, featuring seven golden weapon skins, at launch on September 18.
