In this recent interview with
MTV News, Robert Kirkman talks a little more about the game:
Things are moving along, Kirkman told MTV News of the project's current status. It's very early on in the process, but I'm looking at story points and I think they're going to make some announcements on that stuff very soon, and hopefully have some screenshots pretty quickly.
Kirkman, is the executive producer on the AMC television series and creator of the comic book, says that the game will have a similar relationship to the the comic book source material, following the general narrative but diverging here and there.
With the episodic nature of how they make the game, they can make a level and release a level, then make another level and release that level, so the game should come out in pretty rapid succession because of that, Kirkman said of the release schedule for each episode of The Walking Dead game.
Asked if the players would play as the series main character, Rick Grimes, a mix of all the survivors, or entirely new characters, Kirkman said that he could "neither confirm nor deny" whose perspective you'll play from in the game.
You'll be playing as characters from 'The Walking Dead' for sure, and different levels you'll play as different people, so we'll see, he teased.
Yeah, I don't think we can avoid [making it graphic] with something like this, he said when asked about if the game, like the television series, would have a similarly bloody, intense exploration of life after the zombie apocalypse. I would expect that kind of stuff.
