ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke with AMC Head of Franchise Clayton Neuman and Sledgehammer Games Content Art Director Jon Riva about the new. The duo discussed the collaborative process and working with Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira.
“Call of Duty and The Walking Dead have been bringing Zombies to eager fans for a combined 40 years through comic books, video games and a global phenomenon television franchise. This is the first time that these heavyweights of pop culture have combined forces to create a special The Walking Dead collaboration in Call of Duty.”
How did this deal kind of come together? Had you been looking to collaborate for a while and this was the right opportunity? Or was this a totally new working relationship?
There’s such a strong thematic through line between the two properties, The Walking Dead and Call of Duty, from the gritty realism to the epic scale and the legions of diehard fans. It’s been one of these things that we’ve always wanted to try to find a way to work together. Doing so at this moment in time, when AMC is about to bring back two of these iconic characters from the series for a new epic series … timed with Modern Warfare 3’s release and the zombie mode, it just felt like a sort of kismet timing. We were really excited we were able to put it together.
I think it was just a collab with AMC on bringing what was iconic, but also paying tribute to what’s next. Michonne’s more in line with that sort of thing. Rick’s got that classic look, and then we had the Blackcell opportunity as well. So I think it was just working through the variety of all their great costumes and aesthetics and just making sure that they’re iconic and recognizable right away.
We’re really excited to bring the Walking Dead to that audience. The Walking Dead was the most successful show in the history of cable television. It has successfully transitioned to three very successful spin-off series as well. We do feel like there is some overlap. One of the things that we saw was a lot of enthusiasm when the collaboration was announced from both Call of Duty fans and The Walking Dead fans. The two franchises were coming together. We saw a lot of comments from Call of Duty fans about what other characters from The Walking Dead they want to see in the game. So, like I said, there is a natural fit there, but broadening the Walking Dead audience with Call of Duty’s was a huge draw for us.
Well, they’re probably going to have to wait to see what’s happening in the event, for sure. But I can tell you it’s exciting and as players play the characters, they’re going to see a lot of those tropes from the show and what we tied in, and I think there’s going to be a lot of throwbacks and homages, but

The many regions that players have visited throughout the Pokemon games all draw inspiration from real-world locations, inspiring one fan from Amsterdam to imagine what a counterpart to their home city would look like in the world of Pokemon. Their absolutely amazing pixel art project not only captures a similar vibe to that associated with the older Pokemon games, but also does a great job of showcasing what a Netherlands-inspired region might look like in the games' world.

It’s fair to say that before Red Dead Redemption 2 came out in 2018, most gamers hadn’t heard of Roger Clark. Six years, 61 million sales, and numerous awards later, the 45-year-old Irish-American actor can afford to be picky with roles. His performance as Arthur Morgan, the protagonist of Rockstar’s Wild West epic, is considered by some as one of the greatest in video game history. But Roger’s overnight stardom came after five grueling years in Rockstar’s New York motion capture studio and a contract that gave him the kind of financial security most jobbing actors only dream of. In truth, Arthur Morgan has remained part of Roger’s life ever since. Indeed, he is set to (kind of) reprise the role by narrating the upcoming audiobook of ‘Red Dead's History,’ an exploration of America’s violent past through the lens of the Red Dead Redemption games written by American history professor Tore Olsson. Olsson, by the way, teaches the world’s first Red Dead American history class at the University of Tennessee.
