Com2uS' new puzzle RPG "The Walking Dead: Match 3 Tales (The Walking Dead)" is now available in more than 170 countries worldwide.
Combining the power of an original IP with the popular genre of puzzles, we're excited to see how the game will fare globally, especially in the West.
The Walking Dead utilizes the "The Walking Dead" IP and was developed by Nova Core, a Com2uS subsidiary. The Walking Dead follows the harrowing struggle of survivors in a near-future where civilization has been destroyed by reanimated corpses called walkers.
The original series is a graphic novel by Robert Kirkman that was published from 2003 to 2019, and has become hugely popular around the world, especially in North America and Europe, spawning a diverse media mix.
The Walking Dead faithfully recreates the sensibilities of the original graphic novel, among other things, for a global audience, including Western fans of The Walking Dead. The story follows the original, and the game's illustrations and cutscenes are also comic book-style.
Set in a world where civilization has been destroyed by reanimated corpses called walkers, the game follows Rick Grimes, a lone survivor in a deserted hospital, as he travels to Atlanta to find his family.
In addition to Rick Grimes, all of the main characters from the original story, including Negan, Michonne, and Robbie, are introduced, and each character and walker's design and illustration is designed to capture the emotion and intent of the original story.
Each story can be enjoyed as you progress through the campaign's world map stages, and each new chapter is presented through original comic scenes and dialog scenes. There are currently 89 comic scenes and 382 dialog scenes, with voice acting to enhance the tension and immersion.
In the comic scenes, you can enjoy realistic scenes from the original comics, and in the dialog scenes, you can watch the characters' facial expressions change depending on the speaker's emotions.
In addition to the main story, each character card will unlock a new story that explains the character's background and past. These character-specific stories will provide access to stories that were omitted and not fully explored in the original series, so fans of the original Walking Dead will be able to experience familiar and new stories and experiences while expanding the world.
The puzzle RPG genre is also one of the reasons why the game is expected to be a global success. In the global mobile game market, puzzles are one of the most popular and sought-after genres, especially in North America.
The Walking Dead is a three-match puzzle game. Gamers build their own decks using original characters and battle through combat, construction, production, and more to strengthen their characters and solve puzzles. Puzzles are a popular puzzle format, so it's easy for anyone to get into.
The Walking Dead will be released in more than 170 countries worldwide and will be available in 10 languages, including English, Chinese, French, German, and Korean. Global pre-orders are now open. Available on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, pre-orders and more information about the game can be found on the official pre-order page.
