The Walking Dead VR Game In Works
One thing that the fans of The Walking Dead will admit for sure, which is the franchise created by writer Robert Kirkman (Battle Pope, Invincible) is about to conquer all. First it has proven to be a successful monthly ongoing series from Image Comics, then the live-action TV series on AMC created history on cable television and afterwards, a series of hit-games on various platforms.
Now, what we are about to get next is virtual reality treatment and if everything goes according to plan, then there will be a series of games under that project.

For the past few years, Hollywood has made an unwritten tradition of getting Virtual Reality tie-ins for popular media. Since The Walking Dead is a pretty successful name worldwide, it was about time that it gets a VR treatment too. Recently at VRTL Summit, Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and executive producer David Alpert has revealed that Skybound Entertainment is now in a partnership with Skydance Interactive to develop a series of virtual reality games based on Kirkman's source material.
Later, they have also confirmed this in a Tweet from the official Twitter handle of The Walking Dead.
The multi-year deal among the companies will be responsible for original video games that will have a very different setting and characters from the TV show or the super-hit games from Telltale Games. Skybound's President of Interactive Dan Murray explains, As the world of The Walking Dead is all about moral choices and survival decisions, people love to read that in comics, watch in the show and play in the games. So, what better way there is to experience all that in the environment?
Skydance Interactive is already working on an upcoming video game Archangel, featuring first-person virtual reality experience and was also involved in Netflix series Grace and Frankie. Although, the official announcement for the partnership is now announced, none of them have hinted of a possible release date yet.
