About The Walking Dead: Destinies
You awaken as Rick Grimes in a hospital overrun by walkers and must travel through iconic locations from AMC’s The Walking Dead, such as Atlanta, the Greene farm, the prison, and Woodbury. The game is a single‑player, third‑person action adventure that blends combat with narrative choices.
Across the journey you can recruit from 13 characters, manage limited supplies, and fight hordes of walkers. Critical moments let you alter the series’ storyline, including a “broken state” that offers one last chance at survival before the walker threat overwhelms you.

Choice‑Driven Story

These moments let you either follow the established series timeline or forge a new path, with the consequences persisting throughout the game’s progression.
- Review the options before confirming to understand their narrative weight.
- Observe how dialogue shifts after a major decision.

Third‑Person Combat
Combat is presented from a third‑person perspective, allowing you to slash, bash, and shoot walkers with melee weapons like bats and katanas, as well as ranged options such as revolvers, shotguns, and crossbows.
The game pits you against hordes of walkers and supports both stealth approaches and all‑out firefights, requiring you to defend camps and rescue survivors as part of the loop.
