Socialpoint, a wholly-owned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive’s (NASDAQ: TTWO) Zynga label, today announced that it has partnered with AMC Networks to bring new The Walking Dead experiences to its Dragon City and Monster Legends games.
As part of the collaboration, a new VIP Family will appear in-game, comprising six playable dragons and monsters, respectively, with unique attributes based on iconic characters from The Walking Dead. The eight-week in-game experience begins Monday, September 12 and will end on November 6. During that period, players will be able to acquire some of the creatures by participating in challenging tournaments, and others through in-app purchase. Users can then upgrade their dragons and monsters for combat with special TWD-themed resources.
“Bringing characters from AMC’s The Walking Dead to Dragon City and Monster Legends will delight both fans of the show and our players,” said Amparo García Cifuentes, Head of Growth & Innovation at Socialpoint. “AMC has created a massive global following with the TV series that has captivated audiences for years and it’s exciting to partner with them for this in-game event.”
“In the past 11 seasons, we’ve seen our beloved heroes from The Walking Dead in the best of times, and certainly in the worst of times,” said Clayton Neuman, VP of Games at AMC. “What we’ve never seen, is what they’d look like as dragons and monsters! But thanks to our partners at Socialpoint, we won’t have to wonder about that much longer. We hope our fans enjoy playing with these The Walking Dead-inspired creatures just as much as we enjoyed creating them.”
