Set in the universe of AMC’s TV series, The Walking Dead: Aftermath is a free-to-play fast-paced roguelite action game with high-stakes survival.

In The Walking Dead: Aftermath, players will step into the shoes of iconic survivors from The Walking Dead Universe, including Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, and Michonne, as they fight to survive against relentless walker herds, hostile enemies, and powerful bosses.

Combining high-intensity roguelite action with survivor strategy and base-building meta-progression, the game challenges players to adapt, scavenge, and fight to stay alive in a world where every supply run is a matter of life or death.

Campaign missions will take players through familiar locations from the television series, including Hershel’s Farm, Woodbury, Alexandria, and more. As players progress, they will gather supplies, upgrade survivors, and face escalating threats across a world that grows more dangerous with every chapter.

The Walking Dead: Aftermath delivers fast, replayable action grounded in the tension and survivalism that define The Walking Dead.


“At Ares Interactive, we’re building games with the quality and staying power to earn players’ time and attention,” said Mike DeLaet, President of Ares Interactive. “The Walking Dead: Aftermath combines Swift Games’ strengths in action, progression, and replayability with the intensity and survival drama that has made The Walking Dead an enduring franchise. AMC’s trust in our team speaks to the strength of what we’re building at Ares, and this partnership marks an important step as we continue to create interactive experiences and player communities built to last.”

The Walking Dead continues to capture so many fans’ imaginations, seamlessly blending the drama of survival in extreme circumstances with the thrill of full-throttle action,” commented Clayton Neuman, VP of Games & Franchise at AMC “Our partners at Ares Interactive have created an experience that captures the dangers of the apocalypse, along with the sheer fun of battling herds of walkers. The Walking Dead: Aftermath is easy to pick up, impossible to put down, and we can’t wait for people to play it.”

Additional details, including character reveals, gameplay features, and pre-registration timing, will be announced in the weeks ahead.

The Walking Dead: Aftermath is coming to Android and iOS in Summer 2026.
