After The Walking Dead, an episodic point-and-click, became the surprise hit of last year gamers have never been more excited to return to the vicious hellscape that the series is set in. Although The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct strays from the recent game’s formula and comes from an entirely different developer, it looks to be another great part of The Walking Dead’s legacy. Check out the all-new trailer:
Today also marks the announcement of two unique pre-order opportunities for players as well:
GameStop Herd Mode Challenge – How many frenzied flesh-eaters can you survive against before joining their ranks? Take on endless waves of walkers, each more dangerous than the last, in the all-new Herd Mode. Each wave of undead held off brings with it a new outbreak of hungry biters and new opportunities to rack up an even higher score.
Amazon Walker Execution Pack – Give yourself an edge (or five) with this ‘unique’ weapon kit. The Amazon Walker Execution Pack adds multiple melee options to your arsenal, including a survival knife, sawtoothed machete, kukri, reinforced hatchet, and advanced machete. With ammo scarce and the undead attracted to loud noises, a sharp, silent blade might just be your most trusted companion.
The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct will be available on March 19th for the PC/Mac, PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U and is available for pre-order now

Competitive, snarky, and constantly wearing a tie, Travis has been writing his opinions about electronic media since he was a teenager, and is pretty much the only person to hold his opinions in high regard.
