Watch The Official Gameplay Trailer For ‘The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct’

Last month, an unofficial trailer made its rounds, composed of early footage from The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. The footage was rather underwhelming, and as such, I’m glad it was both early and not official.

Today, Activision released an official trailer for the game, featuring plenty of gameplay, some impressive voicework, and a general idea of just what the game will look like. I’m still not sure that I’m sold on the title, but I’m much more open to giving it a chance after this trailer! Check it out below, and let us know what you think!

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is a do-whatever-you-need-to-survive first-person action game that brings the deep, character-driven world of AMC’s Emmy®Award-winning TV series onto console gaming systems and the PC. The game follows the mysterious, crossbow-wielding survivor Daryl Dixon, brought to life by TV series star Norman Reedus, alongside his overbearing brother Merle, voiced by Michael Rooker, on a haunting, unforgiving journey across the Georgia countryside. Players will need to tread carefully on this desperate quest, scrounging for food, water, and ammunition to survive against nightmares both living and undead.

Preorder bonuses for the game have also been revealed, and out outlined below!

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.

 

So what do you think? The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct releases on March 19 for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, and March 26 for Wii U.
