Adding to the ever-growing number of tie-in series, games and comics in The Walking Dead universe, GameMill Entertainment and AMC have today announced a brand-new game, The Walking Dead: Destinies, and, yes, it's coming to Switch (thanks, IGN).
This is a narrative-based action adventure game that looks set to follow the events of the first four seasons of the popular AMC show... until it doesn't. The unique gimmick here is that the show's key turning points are in your hands. Didn't like one character's death in the early seasons? You can choose to keep them alive in the place of another.
The game will feature over a dozen different characters from the show including Rick, Shane, Glenn, Michonne, Carol, Daryl and more, each of which will bring their own unique skills to the table. Of course, a fair few familiar locations will be making an appearance too, with Greene farm, the prison, Woodbury and others making up the backdrop to your adventure.
We don't have any idea of a release date for Destinies just yet, though GameMill has stated that it expects the game to retail at $49.99 (or your regional equivalent).
Does this look like it will be up your street? Let us know in the comments below.

CORAL!!
Interesting premise, but given the not so stellar body-of-work from this company, one must be cautious.
Also, Lori was an awful mother. I wonder if there's a way to make her even worse.
It might be interesting, but I do not have high hopes.
AMC desperately trying to milk some more blood from this corpse.
Looks awful, with soundalikes and not quite like the show characters.
I was sad by deaths in the first four seasons, but not annoyed by them.
Let me know when I can keep Glenn alive.
As a fan of the series, I think I may like this.
Very much looking forward to this. Big fan of the series.
I'd rather s--t my pants while playing the Walking Dead VR games, thank you very much.
Might check it out cause I like zombie games but not really a fan of the show.
Those graphics....what year is it.gif??
Yeah the graphics and animations are kind of.... not the greatest, but I LOVE The Walking Dead and I'll still purchase it regardless! First playthrough I'll probably try to follow the show as closely as possible and then I'll try to deviate.
Good lord it looks so rough. Only time will tell if it turns out to be disaster just like WD: Survival Instinct
I watched the entire series recently and I don’t feel a need to revisit that world in a game that makes it look even sillier.
A clear art style would have been nice too, instead of this failed attempt at semi-realism with horrible lighting.
@Bizzyb It would have been an awesome early PS3 tech demo
@Olliemar28 Glad we agree on Coral 🌸 🌺 🌸
@Zuljaras the article says the first four seasons.
Games like this and if Physical cart makes it more fun to play as it becomes "Choose your own adventure" for those that remember these types of book.
Playing guess the lookalike with the cast in the image up there has me pretty certain on all of them except the dude to the below left of 'Rick'. I'm guessing that's supposed to be...the Governor, maybe?
