‘The Walking Dead: March to War’ Takes Place Just Before the ‘All Out War’ Comic Book Storyline

The Walking Dead: March to War is still under development, and it sounds like the developer, Disruptor Beam, is really trying to tie the game to the Walking Dead universe. In the latest blog post, Lead Narrative Designer, Jessica Sliwinski, talks about how they want to turn you into an armchair apocalypse leader, like when you’re reading the comic books and you keep thinking how you wouldn’t do all the dumb things Rick keeps doing. In The Walking Dead: March to War, you’ll be in the middle of those characters and those decisions, so you will have the opportunity to get people killed in even more spectacular and unnecessary ways. The story of the game takes place just before the events of Volume 20 of the comic books, with some key events leading up to “All Out War" having already happened (including two very famous deaths that we’ve seen in TWD TV show).

And while the game is based on those events, it takes players on an alternate history version of the events that transpired in the comic books. You’ll be a leader of your own community, powerful enough to draw the attention of both Rick and Negan, among others. Those two gentle souls will be trying to win you over to their side, and you’ll get to pick whose side you want to be on. There’s a lot more information on the game in the blog post, so go check it out. And still no release date for the game outside of “soon."
