‘The Walking Dead: Destinies’ Now Available on Consoles; PC Version Coming December 1 [Trailer]
Get ready to carve your own path through The Walking Dead universe with The Walking Dead: Destinies, which is out now on PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch, with the PC version scheduled for release on December 1 on Steam.
The Walking Dead: Destinies kicks off with you playing as Rick Grimes, waking alone in a hospital surrounded by the dead. From there, you must assemble your team from over twelve characters from the series, and fight your way through the walker apocalypse across iconic locations from The Walking Dead, including Atlanta, the Greene family farm, the prison, and Woodbury.
In crucial choice-driven moments, you’ll shape the destiny of your team via a multiple choice mechanic. Save the villain, kill the hero… and live with the consequences. Along with managing your limited resources, you’ll have to scavenge for weapons and ammo, and maximize your party’s abilities to stay alive, which involves defending your camp, rescuing survivors, and fighting through stealth and all-out combat.
For those who are more keen on the shows, Fear the Walking Dead debuted the first episode of its two-part series finale last night. Meanwhile, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, starring Andrew Lincoln (Rick) and Danai Gurira (Michonne), is set to premiere in February 2024.
Just in case it wasn’t already clear, Jason Voorhees will be arriving in Dead by Daylight next week. And along with teasing their 10th Anniversary Livestream on June 14, Behaviour Interactive also dropped another teaser, this time for Jason and his never-before-seen Bloody Jason skin. That also includes a Redband variant, just for old time’s sake.
While it’s unclear for now just how players can snag this gory cosmetic, the skin joins the other three previously-revealed skins in the Jason Collection, featuring a range of Outfits that pay homage to his legacy while being reimagined in ways only The Fog could shape. Jason’s default Outfit presents the unmistakable icon from Jason Universe, originally designed by horror legend Greg Nicotero: a 13-holed hockey mask, machete, and weather-beaten clothing worn through countless kills.
Additional outfits include Backwoods Terror, which trades Jason’s jacket for flannel and suspenders, and his machete for a heavy axe. Death Forsaken offers a more grotesque incarnation with decayed features, exposed bone, and a shovel in hand. Lastly, Jason’s Depths of Despair Outfit sees him emerging from the depths; a vision of terror covered head-to-toe in barnacles, coral, and seaweed.
Dead by Daylight: Jason will be available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch on June 16.
