Publisher GameMill Entertainment has officially unveiled The Walking Dead: Destinies, a new narrative-focused TWD title heading to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. We don't have a release window or anything for this one just yet, but our first look at the game is available up above.
It's fair to describe our initial impression of Destinies as 'budget' based on its reveal trailer, but we'll try and save our full judgement until the game is out in the wild. That description is backed up by the fact that this The Walking Dead title will cost $50 at launch, even on current-gen systems.
In terms of how the title will actually play, GameMill says Destinies is a third-person action adventure game based on the first four seasons of the TV adaptation of The Walking Dead. It sounds like story-driven choices will play a part as well, as you'll be able to "weave your own path through series events".
For a good while we were pretty big fans of The Walking Dead on AMC, especially during these first four seasons, so we're definitely intrigued to see how the story will play out in this video game version of events. Hopefully we hear of a release date for The Walking Dead: Destinies sooner rather than later.
What do you think to look of this TWD reveal trailer? Drop your thoughts down below.

That's quite the fivehead they gave Rick
I mean, of all the IPs out there - why the hell pick this oversaturated mess of a show? Not only is the game based on the first four seasons - which are lengthy enough as is - but now that's being padded out even more via being able to drastically altering the plot? The whole thing reeks of cashcow. Not interested in the slightest, I'll wait for SoD3. What the hell is with the VO too? Shane sounds more like Hershal trying to clench in a turd.
@Kaloudz The first time I've found myself disagreeing with you, buddy. The Walking Dead is still a massive IP that's ripe for an awesome video game adaptation. That being said, despite the potential of the franchise, I'm absolutely certain this game is not the aforementioned awesome adaptation that I want or expect.
I honestly cannot wait for this. If this is done right, even with the dated visuals, this could be a lot of fun.
The close likenesses of the tv actors having completely different voices is bizarre.
@LoquaciousB Oh man. I'm going to attempt a spoiler tag. I stopped watching when Negan turned up and took a bat to two of my fave characters it go so boring for me after that, and so, so tired. Then they go make a bunch of spin offs, announce three movies that then get turned into seasons, and no doubt they'll come full "Avengers" circle and tie them all back up into one final series.
If this was Undead Labs, making a spin off story mode for SoD, I'd maybe be a bit more excited, but as it sits, and given the whole "change the fates" vibe that I'm getting here, I just can't get into it. It just looks and sounds so, off.
I hope for folk like yourself (who may have stuck with it longer than me) get something to enjoy, but for me, I just got too fatigued from Rick, his gang, and his irritating as hell son 😅
If it is even remotely as amazing as TWD Saints and Sinners VR I'll play it.

The Walking Dead, the IP that truly does live up to its name. Somebody should have removed the head or destroyed the brain of this franchise years ago.
Oh, and TWD Destinies looks hilariously bad.
