AMC & 37 Games Announce Collaboration Between ‘Puzzles & Survival’ & ‘The Walking Dead’

Written by John Edward Betancourt

It used to be that when a television show went off of the airwaves, anything and everything associated with that show… disappeared with it. Because endings used to be quite final in nature in Tinsel Town, and there was seemingly no point in hanging onto any threads to a story that had reached its conclusion. But this new era of peak television is changing all of that, since cancellations might mean new life at another network, and everyone is also learning… that the end of a show means little to fans these days. For they find ways to keep the spirit of the series alive and now networks and companies are starting to recognize that and provide the fans with the unique continuation they crave.
​
If anything, that particular act is top of mind today, simply because of the announcement that 37 Games and AMC Networks brought forth today. For earlier they let the world know that the popular game Puzzles & Survival is going to bring iconic characters and story elements from The Walking Dead into the fold, allowing for the legacy of this show to live on via the game long after it goes off the airwaves later this year and well, here are more details regarding this delightful announcement, courtesy of AMC Networks and 37 Games.

‘Today 37 GAMES, the publisher of the popular match-3 zombie mobile game Puzzles & Survival, announced an official collaboration with AMC’s smash hit television series The Walking Dead to celebrate the game’s two-year anniversary.
 
Beginning August 2, players around the world will encounter their favorite characters and story elements from AMC’s iconic television series, including fan favorites Rick Grimes and Michonne, and even the villain you love to hate: Negan and his infamous baseball bat, Lucille.
 
In the world of Puzzles & Survival, an unknown virus has transformed most of humanity into flesh-eating zombies. To make things worse, Negan and his band of Saviors have appeared, intimidating and subjugating any survivors unlucky enough to cross his path. Puzzles & Survival players now have an entirely new opponent to deal with.
 
In this crossover event, players will experience an original storyline involving Negan, with new artwork and gameplay faithful to the events of the show. Opponents are other humans, which creates a far more complex and morally ambiguous situation than battling against the undead.
 
But players will have the support of favorite characters from the Alexandria Safe Zone, such as Rick Grimes, Darryl Dixon, and Michonne–with the choice of siding with the survivors from Alexandria in the coming battle for freedom, or bowing to Negan and the Saviors.
 
AMC’s The Walking Dead is a global phenomenon, that became the biggest show in the history of cable television with legions of  fans across the world. The developers of Puzzles & Survival are proud to collaborate with AMC to deliver this new and exciting experience to fans of both franchises.
 
Puzzles & Survival is a zombie-themed match-3 strategy which has been downloaded over 45 million times by players from around the globe. Both the Android and iOS versions of the game have received critical praise from players in both Western and Japanese markets. Additionally, Puzzles & Survival received an award for by Best Innovative Gameplay at Sensor Tower APAC Awards in 2021. The developers of Puzzles & Survival are proud to have received this award, and will endeavor to deliver even better games in the future.
 
This August, the Saviors will go to war against the survivors of the Alexandria Safe Zone. As the war spills over into Puzzles & Survival, players can earn rewards which can better prepare them for the upcoming conflict.’
