The ultimate zombie-killing crossover is on the horizon as “World War Z” has announced the release date for its upcoming collaboration with AMC’s “The Walking Dead.”

Based on Paramount’s “World War Z” film, the co-op zombie shooter video game will launch its “TWD”-themed DLC Jan. 29 across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.




Per “World War Z” developer Saber Interactive‘s description for the update:

“Undead apocalypses collide like never before in World War Z x The Walking Dead DLC, a new campaign episode featuring three thrilling stories starring characters from AMC’s The Walking Dead – Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, Negan, and Michonne – with the voices of Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus reprising their fan-favorite characters.

From the Prison to the Alexandria Safe Zone and Grady Memorial Hospital, you’ll fight to survive against new versions of World War Z’s infamous Zeke swarms inspired by The Walking Dead’s uniquely slower-moving but no less deadly Walkers.”
