Next Games Developing ‘The Walking Dead’ Mobile Game
Sure, Telltale’s fantastic series is already available on iOS and Android, but if you’d like even more The Walking Dead when you’re on the go, developer Next Games has you covered. AMC recently announced they’ve enlisted the Finnish studio to develop a mobile game based on the hit television series that will release alongside its fifth season, slated to premiere this October.
“We chose to team up with Next Games because of their outstanding creative and technical talent, as well as a willingness to re-imagine the unique and compelling world of ‘The Walking Dead,’ which has built a significant and passionate global fan community,” AMC president Charlie Collier said in the announcement.
Not much else is known about the title, but what we know of Next Games is that it was formed of Rovio (Angry Birds) devs with the goal of “focused on crafting majestic narrative-driven games with engaging free-to-play mechanics.”
Telltale’s set the bar pretty high, and so far other attempts to adapt the series have failed miserably. I’m always open to more Walking Dead, so I’m very much looking forward to hearing more from this.

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
