The Walking Dead game, an adaptation of the popular TV series The Walking Dead, actually started its journey to take place in the Left 4 Dead universe.
Now the zombie theme is not as popular as it used to be, it still exists today with Dying Light 2. If we look at the past, the period when this theme was at its peak, famous productions such as Left 4 Dead, Dead Rising and The Walking Dead welcome us.
A video came to the fore as Teltale Games celebrated the 10th anniversary of their famous productions. In the video, the developer team shares their thoughts and feelings about the brand they created after years.
Talks to Valve for The Walking Dead
According to the video, The Walking Dead was originally designed as a zombie adventure game set in a different universe. The studio specifically contacted Valve to do something set in the Left 4 Dead universe. Telltale Games was strict about the structure of the game. It wouldn’t be any different from his current job. Considering Left 4 Dead’s slightly more humorous stance and The Walking Dead’s emotional stance, the work that will come out could be interesting.
However, Robert Kirkman, the author of The Walking Dead comics, humorously expressed that he was glad they did not do this. Among the episodes aired, it seems that the first episode is still the favorite of the players. If we think briefly about the reason, Lee’s adoption of Clementine, whom he met by chance, as if he were his father, conquered the hearts of the players.
