Ares Interactive and AMC Global Media today announced The Walking Dead: Aftermath, the first free-to-play roguelite game set in the universe of AMC’s smash hit television series The Walking Dead. Developed by Ares’ Swift Games, the studio behind the hit mobile title Heroes vs Hordes, the game will launch on the App Store and Google Play this summer, with additional platforms to be announced at a later date.
In The Walking Dead: Aftermath, players will step into the shoes of iconic survivors from The Walking Dead Universe, including Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, and Michonne, as they fight to survive against relentless walker herds, hostile enemies, and powerful bosses. Combining high-intensity roguelite action with survivor strategy and base-building meta-progression, the game challenges players to adapt, scavenge, and fight to stay alive in a world where every supply run is a matter of life or death.
“The Walking Dead continues to capture so many fans’ imaginations, seamlessly blending the drama of survival in extreme circumstances with the thrill of full-throttle action,” commented Clayton Neuman, VP of Games & Franchise at AMC “Our partners at Ares Interactive have created an experience that captures the dangers of the apocalypse, along with the sheer fun of battling herds of walkers. The Walking Dead: Aftermath is easy to pick up, impossible to put down, and we can’t wait for people to play it.”
Campaign missions will take players through familiar locations from the television series, including Hershel’s Farm, Woodbury, Alexandria, and more. As players progress, they will gather supplies, upgrade survivors, and face escalating threats across a world that grows more dangerous with every chapter.
