Zombies to Invade Facebook in New “The Walking Dead” Social Game

The Walking Dead is riding high after a couple of jaw-dropping episodes and what promises to be an exciting and pulse-pounding season finale. Seeking to capitalize on its popularity further, AMC has announced the creation of a Walking Dead-themed social game on Facebook. Grounded in the world of the show, the game leverages the best aspects of the social network to offer a truly immersive experience for fans. Hit the jump for more details.

RockYou and Eyes Wide Games developed The Walking Dead Social Game specifically for maximum “playability.” The result hopefully is that users will be presented with all the choices and decisions the show’s characters must make to survive, which will lead to significant implications for how the game will play out. You can read more details about the game and check out some screenshots below from the game’s Facebook page:

AMC’s The Walking Dead: Social Game features an array of missions that will test your survival skills!
New Survivors: The only way to survive is with a team of allies. Create your team of zombie fighters to remain safe and unharmed from the Walker threat.

Guard duty: While you’re not online, anything could happen in The Walking Dead Online Universe, so make certain to have your friends on guard to protect your community. Safety is always found in numbers. By adding your friends, you increase your ability to protect your camp as well as your friends’.

Narrative driven quests: Complete unique and exciting adventures in popular locations from The Walking Dead television show, as well as never-before-seen locations designed exclusively for the game.

Meet your favorite survivors: Now is your chance to interact with the survivors of the hit TV Show, The Walking Dead.

Look for the game to go live sometime in April. Until then, you can “like” it on Facebook to receive the latest updates and start preparing for the oncoming zombie social network apocalypse.

The season finale of The Walking Dead airs this Sunday night on AMC.
