Setting up a greatly underutilized tool, Skybound Entertainment and Genvid Entertainment are bringing a unique kind of entertainment experience for fans and players. In their upcoming game, The Walking Dead: Last Mile, players will experience a massively interactive live event (MILE). What this means is that the story and protagonists are in the hands of the players as the saga unfolds minute-by-minute, day-by-day, week-by-week.
When talking about this upcoming experience, Robert Kirkman, Chairman of Skybound Entertainment and creator of The Walking Dead, said, “We’re thrilled to unveil this new MILE experience that will take place in The Walking Dead universe, where fans can play games and influence this new world and its inhabitants as a community. With The Walking Dead: Last Mile, audience members can stream a living, breathing world of The Walking Dead, working collectively and individually to impact the story at every turn. We’re excited to collaborate with our partners Genvid and Facebook to bring this pioneering vision to life.”
The Walking Dead: Last Mile is planned to take place this Summer exclusively on Facebook Gaming and Facebook Watch. It is being created in partnership with lead simulation developer Pipeworks Studios as well. What do you think of this upcoming half-game, half-TV show event?
