The Walking Dead: Last Mile, a new game for Facebook was showcased with a new exclusive cinematic trailer at the IGN Summer of Gaming 2022.

“From Skybound games comes The Walking Dead: Last Mile which is part game, part interactive live experience as it relies on the audience to determine its outcome. It’s a massively interactive live event that is a Facebook Gaming and Facebook Watch exclusive series. Take a look at a cinematic short from The Walking: Dead Last Mile in this trailer.

From what we know about the game, it seems to be an interactive adventure game similar to the Telltale Walking Dead games, and like with those games the players will decide how certain plot points will unfold.
The main difference is that this game will be a ‘live experience’. The description of the game saying “the audience to determine its outcome” implies that multiple players may have to work together to decide on a course of action for the characters.
We don’t know exactly how this will work, perhaps through viewers voting on decisions or being given time to discuss the best choice to make. I suppose we’ll find up when the game drops next month.
